Trump's Harley boycott call roils Wisconsin primary

MADISON, Wis. — 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. "And one of the best ways for that to happen is to do what the president has called for and that is to get to no tariffs."

   If Walker loses this seat Trump needs to appoint him to the NLRB.
