Wisconsin's political landscape has seen significant shifts over the past few decades. Historically favoring Republicans from the mid-1940s to 1984, the state witnessed a Democratic winning streak from 1988 to 2012, with the 2000 and 2004 elections being particularly close. However, in 2016, former President Donald Trump managed to secure victory in Wisconsin by a narrow margin of 0.7 percent, breaking the Democratic streak.
Despite polls indicating otherwise, Trump's unexpected win in 2016 highlighted the state's unpredictable nature in elections. In 2020, Democrats regained control in Wisconsin as President Joe Biden secured a victory by the same slim margin of 0.7 percent.
