As the 2024 campaign enters its final days, Vice President Kamala Harris is making a strong push in Wisconsin, a battleground state crucial to her election bid. Democrats are keen on avoiding the mistakes of the past, particularly the missteps of the 2016 election that saw Hillary Clinton lose to Donald Trump.
One of the key criticisms from 2016 was the absence of campaign efforts in Wisconsin by the Democratic nominee. Determined not to repeat history, the Harris campaign has been actively engaging with voters in the state.
Recent polls indicate a tight race between Harris and Trump in Wisconsin, underscoring the significance of the state's 10 electoral votes. Despite the challenges, Harris and her team are leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of victory.
From the outset of her campaign, Harris has prioritized Wisconsin, making it the first state she visited after securing the nomination. Joined by her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Harris held a rally in Milwaukee, setting the tone for a focused campaign strategy.
Noteworthy endorsements, such as that of former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, have bolstered Harris' efforts in Wisconsin. Cheney's appearance at a campaign event in Ripon highlighted the campaign's appeal across party lines.
Continuing her momentum, Harris recently rallied in Madison and is scheduled to visit Janesville and Appleton. These strategic stops underscore the campaign's outreach to traditionally Republican voters, aiming to broaden its support base.
With a star-studded rally featuring celebrities like Cardi B planned for Friday, Harris is leaving no opportunity untapped in her bid to secure Wisconsin's crucial electoral votes.
