Vice President Kamala Harris is traveling to Milwaukee today for her first rally since announcing her presidential campaign on Sunday evening. This marks her ninth visit to Wisconsin since becoming Vice President and her fifth visit to the state this year.
“We’re proud to welcome Vice President Harris to Wisconsin, a state she once called home, where she will rally excited supporters after announcing her presidential campaign,” said Brianna Johnson, Harris for President Wisconsin Communications Director.
Harris has received endorsements from Governor Tony Evers and every Democratic statewide elected official, including Senator Tammy Baldwin and Congress members Gwen Moore and Mark Pocan. Additionally, she has the support of both state legislative Democratic leaders, the Mayors of Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, and many cities across the state, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, and over 90% of Wisconsin delegates to the Democratic National Convention.
In Wisconsin, Democrats have 48 coordinated offices across 43 counties with roughly 160 full-time staffers on the ground.
“We’ll continue to build on this success with events in every corner of the state this week, harnessing the grassroots energy for Kamala Harris that we’ll see on display in Milwaukee tomorrow,” said Johnson.
The Harris campaign is built on the narrative of a prosecutor against a felon, which sparks debate over whether this negative campaigning will further divide America. Harris’s visit, according to Johnson, will highlight the choice facing Wisconsinites: between Donald Trump, the “convicted felon who would drag this country backwards,” and her brighter vision for the future, where “our freedoms are protected and every American has a fair shot.”
