Trump's Harley boycott call roils Wisconsin primary
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — President Donald Trump's call for a boycott of Harley-Davidson motorcycles forced Gov. Scott Walker and other Republicans to either criticize the president or stick with the Milwaukee-based company just ahead of Tuesday's primary where Trump allegiance has been a central focus.
Trump on Sunday tweeted it was "great" that "many" Harley owners planned to boycott the company if manufacturing moves overseas, continuing a steel tariff dispute he's had since June with the company.
Walker, Wisconsin's most prominent Harley owner who faces a tough re-election bid in November, issued a statement that did not directly address the boycott call.
"I want Harley Davidson to prosper here in the state of Wisconsin," Walker said.
