Governor Tony Evers (D) wrote to President Donald Trump on Sunday evening to “respectfully ask” him “to reconsider” his upcoming visit to Kenosha, Wisconsin, where violent unrest erupted following the shooting of 29-year-old Jacob Blake by police, because the president’s presence in the city could stop the community from healing.

In a letter released Sunday afternoon, and obtained by News 3 Now, Evers told Trump that he and other community leaders in Kenosha “are concerned your presence will only hinder our healing” and “delay our work to overcome division and move forward together.”
