Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to visit Milwaukee on Tuesday for her first rally since announcing her presidential campaign. This comes after President Biden suspended his reelection bid and endorsed her candidacy.
During the rally, Harris is expected to emphasize the differences between her vision for the future and what she describes as the regressive policies of former President Donald Trump. A campaign memo released ahead of the event highlighted Harris's commitment to protecting freedoms and ensuring that every American has an equal opportunity.
Following the endorsement of enough delegate support, Harris has secured the Democratic presidential nomination. The campaign has also garnered support from key Democratic figures in Wisconsin, including Governor Tony Evers and Senator Tammy Baldwin.
The campaign boasts an extensive ground game in the state, with numerous coordinated offices and over 160 full-time staffers actively engaging with voters through door-to-door outreach and phone calls.
The memo from the campaign criticized Trump and his supporters for promoting an agenda that includes nationwide abortion bans, tax increases for the middle class, cuts to Social Security and Medicare, and an expansion of presidential powers.
This visit marks Harris's ninth trip to Wisconsin since assuming the vice presidency and her fifth visit to the state this year, underscoring the importance of Wisconsin in the upcoming election.
