Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to speak in Janesville, Wisconsin, on Friday, just days before Election Day. She will be accompanied by members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and other local union members, as announced by the campaign.
Wisconsin has been a crucial state in recent presidential elections, with four out of the last six elections being decided by less than a percentage point. The upcoming 2024 election is no different, with polls showing a tight race between Harris and former President Donald Trump, indicating that either candidate could emerge victorious.
The Democratic party is focusing on maximizing voter turnout in key cities like Milwaukee and Madison, while also aiming to reduce the margins in the 'WOW' counties - Waukesha, Ozaukee, and Washington - which are known as Republican strongholds surrounding Milwaukee.
Janesville, the location of Harris's campaign event, is situated approximately 40 miles southeast of Madison, making it a strategic location for engaging with voters in the region.
