Vice President Harris made her final push for Wisconsin before Election Day, joined by Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) on a three-stop swing through the key battleground state. “Wisconsin, truly, we need everyone to vote here. You, Wisconsin, are going to make the difference in this election. You will make the difference,” Harris said at a Friday evening rally in Little Chute. The crowd at the rally, holding “vote” and “when we vote, we win” signs chanted “we will win.”
“We are the type of people that when you know what you stand for, you know what to fight for,” Harris said. The vice president, in arguing that she believes in the promise of America, called herself “a child of the civil rights movement.” “My parents took me to the marches when I was in a stroller. And there were people there from every walk of life who came together to fight for freedom and for opportunity,” she said. “The promise of America is all around us. It is in the young leaders who are voting for the very first time. Where are you? Oh, I love Gen-Z! I really do.”
She also asked the crowd who had already voted early, which was met with loud cheers at the rally. “Oh wow. Oh my goodness, that’s great, thank you!” Harris said. “For anyone who’s not yet voted, no judgement, but please take a moment now and just think about what your plan will be for when and where you will vote.”
Baldwin is in a close race against Republican Eric Hovde that Democrats are looking at in order to hold onto the upper chamber. The senator has a slim lead over Hovde, polling at 48.4 percent compared to his 47.9 percent, according to a polling aggregate from Decision Desk HQ/The Hill.
