Scott Walker and GOP Senate candidates say they oppose a Harley boycott after avoiding the issue
MADISON - GOP Gov. Scott Walker and the two Republicans running for U.S. Senate broke with President Donald Trump and said they oppose a boycott of Harley-Davidson Inc. on Monday after avoiding the issue for as long as they could before Tuesday's primaries.
For more than 24 hours, Walker would not say if he supported or opposed a boycott, but late Monday he came out against it.
"As I said yesterday, I want Harley-Davidson to prosper here in the State of WI — so of course I don’t want a boycott of Harley-Davidson," Walker tweeted. "And one of the best ways for that to happen is to do what the President has called for and that is get to no tariffs as soon as possible."
Walker took that stance hours after Senate candidate Kevin Nicholson said he disagreed with the president on a boycott while supporting his overall trade policy.
