Harris and Trump hold dueling final rallies at a crucial ‘blue wall’ battlefield

MILWAUKEE — Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump will hold competing rallies around the same time Friday evening, just a few miles apart, in the battleground of Wisconsin’s largest city.

With just four days until Election Day, the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates are making their final stop in Wisconsin, where almost all the latest polls point to a race for the margin of error between the two candidates.

“Starting this weekend, the way to predict the winner is to toss a coin. It’s so close,” University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee professor emeritus Mordecai Lee told Fox News.

Two days after Harris and Trump held competing rallies in Wisconsin — the vice president stopped in Madison, the state capital, while the former president was in Green Bay — they will duel again, this time in the same city.

Trump’s event will take place at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, where he accepted his party’s presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention in July. Harris will be a few miles away for an election rally at the Wisconsin State Fair Park Exposition Center.

The former president arrives in Wisconsin from Michigan, another key battleground, where he held campaign events earlier on Friday.

Harris’ Milwaukee rally – where popular rapper and songwriter Cardi B will also deliver remarks – will be her third Wisconsin event of the day. She stopped by a union building in Janesville during the afternoon.

When a group of union members started shouting “Madam President,” Harris responded, “Not yet! Four days.’

The vice president also argued that “Donald Trump has not been a friend of labor.”

The vice president then went to Appleton to lead a meeting at a school.

The Democratic and Republican Parties’ vice presidential candidates — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, respectively — have both toured Wisconsin, and major surrogates — including former Presidents Obama and Clinton for Harris — are in the Badger State parachuted.

Both campaigns and their aligned committees and super PACs have also flooded Wisconsin’s airwaves with TV ads in the final period leading up to Election Day next week.

Wisconsin, along with Michigan and Pennsylvania, are the three Rust Belt states that form Democrats’ so-called “blue wall.”

For a quarter century, Democrats reliably won all three states before Trump narrowly captured them in the 2016 election over Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton to win the White House.

Four years later, in 2020, President Biden defeated all three states by razor-thin margins to put them back in the Democrats’ column and defeat Trump. In Wisconsin, Biden carried the state by just over 20,000 votes out of more than 3.2 million votes cast.

With the race within the margins, it could likely come down to turnout in Wisconsin.

The Harris campaign emphasizes that they have more than 50 offices in 43 counties across the state, and 250 full-time coordinated staff on the ground.

They emphasize that they have knocked on more than 1.5 million doors in the battle for the ten electoral votes in Wisconsin.

The Trump campaign, pointing to the pro-football rivalry between the Green Bay Packers of Wisconsin and the Vikings of neighboring Minnesota, took aim at the vice president.

“Kamala Harris knows nothing about Wisconsin – she chose a Vikings fan as her running mate. Wisconsin voters are already surging for President Trump, as evidenced by his lead in the polls, encouraging early voter turnout, and big endorsements from hometown favorites including Hall of Famer Brett Favre and the former governor of Wisconsin, Tommy Thompson,” Karoline Leavitt, national press secretary for the Trump campaign, argued in a statement to Fox News.

Lee, who has been involved in Wisconsin politics for nearly five decades, pointed out all the attention his home state is getting.

“We feel like we’re the ones who are going to choose the next president,” he said.
