MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Florida Sen. Marco Rubio will be campaigning in Wisconsin to help get out the vote for fellow Republican Mitt Romney.

Romney's campaign announced Tuesday that Rubio will host a rally in Republican-heavy Waukesha on Thursday.

The event comes as early in-person voting started in Wisconsin on Monday. It runs through Nov. 2.

Both Romney and President Barack Obama's campaign have been making a strong push for early voting in Wisconsin. Vice President Joe Biden plans to campaign in both Oshkosh and Kenosha on Friday.
