Vice President USA Kamala Harris

Wisconsin leaders extended a warm welcome to Vice President Kamala Harris as she kicked off her first campaign event in the state following President Joe Biden's endorsement of her as the Democratic party's presidential nominee. The event, held in Milwaukee, was attended by Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin, who emphasized the significance of Wisconsin as a battleground state that could play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the presidential election and control of the Senate.

Senator Baldwin praised President Biden's decision not to seek reelection as an 'incredible act of patriotism' and highlighted Vice President Harris' qualifications as a career prosecutor and her experience serving as Biden's vice president. Both Baldwin and Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers expressed confidence in Harris' ability to lead and emphasized the urgency of the upcoming election.

Governor Evers warned of the perceived threats posed by the Republican ticket, referring to Donald Trump and GOP Senator JD Vance as a 'threat to democracy.' He raised concerns about potential efforts to restrict abortion rights, a contentious issue in Wisconsin. Evers rallied the crowd, urging voters to support Harris as the first woman president of the United States.

The enthusiastic response from the audience in the high school gymnasium reflected the energy and excitement surrounding Harris' campaign event. Governor Evers, typically reserved in his demeanor, expressed his enthusiasm to the crowd, signaling strong support for Harris and the Democratic ticket.
