Donald Trump will campaign on House Speaker Paul Ryan’s turf next week.

Trump is holding a town hall at a conference center in Janesville, Wisconsin — Ryan's hometown — on Tuesday, an event that comes after the Wisconsin Republican's latest rebuke of the real estate mogul and his divisive rhetoric.

“Looking around at what’s taking place in politics,” Ryan began in his speech on Wednesday, “it is easy to get disheartened.”

Ryan said having skepticism is healthy but stressed that “when people distrust politics, they come to distrust institutions. They come to lose faith in government. They lose faith in our future.”

Ryan will chair the Republican National Convention this summer and has maintained that he will remain neutral in the primary. But on at least a few occasions, the GOP leader has been compelled to speak out against Trump and actions he feels are contrary to the party’s ideals.

Earlier this month, Ryan condemned the New York billionaire for suggesting his supporters would riot if he loses the nomination at a contested convention and implicitly blasted Trump for wavering when asked about disavowing support from the Ku Klux Klan and former grand wizard David Duke.

Ted Cruz will be in Janesville later Thursday for a rally. Wisconsin holds its primary on April 5.
