MOSINEE, Wis. (AP) — The Latest on Vice President Joe Biden, House Speaker Paul Ryan campaign events (all times local):

10:50 a.m.

The power has gone out inside a central Wisconsin manufacturing facility 45 minutes before House Speaker Paul Ryan was to campaign with Republican Sen. Ron Johnson.

Ryan and Johnson were to hold a rally Friday on the floor of Crystal Finishing Systems in Mosinee, about 130 miles north of Madison. About 45 minutes before the rally was to start, as the campaign was playing music over a loudspeaker system, the lights flickered but remained on. About five minutes later the large manufacturing floor went completely dark.

Johnson's campaign bus is parked inside the facility to be used as a backdrop for the event. This was to be the first stop Ryan was making on the bus tour that goes up to Election Day.

Vice President Joe Biden and House Speaker Paul Ryan are campaigning in Wisconsin in the waning days of the election.

Biden was holding a rally for Hillary Clinton in Madison Friday morning at about the same time that Ryan was 130 miles north campaigning for Republican Sen. Ron Johnson. He's Democratic opponent Russ Feingold was to join Biden at the Madison event.

Money and big names have poured into Wisconsin this week as polls show the Senate race tightening to about even. Donald Trump was coming to West Allis on Sunday and his running mate Mike Pence was to join Ryan and Johnson for a rally Saturday in Mukwonago.

The Marquette University Law School poll this week showed Clinton with a 6-point lead over Trump in Wisconsin.
