Trump has already traveled to Wisconsin this summer to stump for Van Orden, 56, in an appearance framed by tractors and bales of hay. Van Orden was elected in 2022 following the retirement of moderate Democrat Ron Kind. And he is a ​vocal ​backer of Trump's war with Iran, which has driven up the cost of fuel and fertilizer. That falloff is why some of ​Wisconsin's political strategists believe Van Orden faces a tougher re-election battle. Van Orden has attacked her for her previous campaign work, accusing her of "cosplaying" as a waitress.
