During her recent presidential campaign rally in the Milwaukee region, Vice President Kamala Harris emphasized the importance of Wisconsin in the path to the White House. Tonight, Harris is set to hold her third campaign rally in the state within a month, choosing the same location where Republicans previously held their convention.
The decision to schedule the rally during primetime programming of their own convention in Chicago highlights the urgency faced by the Harris campaign to reach out to key states in a limited timeframe. Wisconsin, a crucial battleground state, played a pivotal role in the 2020 election, with President Joe Biden narrowly defeating former President Donald Trump by a margin of approximately 20,000 votes.
The campaign's strategy aims to broaden the reach of the convention beyond traditional Democratic strongholds and engage with battleground voters. A campaign aide emphasized that the rally is not intended as a victory celebration but rather as an opportunity to connect with voters who will play a critical role in the upcoming election.
