Vice President Mike Pence is heading to Milwaukee Saturday to bolster support to complete the repeal of President Barack Obama's signature health care law.

Pence will meet with Gov. Scott Walker and members of the business community and their employees at Direct Supply, a medical supply store servicing the senior living industry.

After his meeting at Direct Supply, he will make some public comments.

Pence's visit is part of a full-court press by President Donald Trump's administration in Wisconsin. On Tuesday, Trump will participate in a fundraiser for Walker and is expected to hold a public event tied to jobs.

The administration is attempting a business-as-usual approach in the wake of damaging testimony Thursday to a U.S. Senate committee by fired FBI Director James Comey.

The vice president’s office said Pence will meet with business leaders and families in Wisconsin to discuss the “adverse effects” of the law known as Obamacare.

In May, the U.S. House passed a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, but Republican leaders in the Senate are working on their own version of a bill. Trump is prodding the Senate to get a bill passed by this summer.
