In Wisconsin, Trump courts 'garbage' outrage as Harris courts students
Donald Trump and Kamala Harris held events in Wisconsin on Wednesday, with Trump in Green Bay and Harris in Madison.
GREEN BAY, Wis. — In Green Bay on Wednesday, former President Donald Trump donned an orange vest and climbed into a garbage truck to try to highlight a gaffe President Joe Biden made just the day before.
Nearly 160 miles away in Madison, Vice President Kamala Harris stepped onstage to thousands of screaming students and vowed she would chart a new way forward.
The split-screen played out in this key swing state six days ahead of the election, as both campaigns sprinted across battlegrounds to rally their voters in what's expected to be a race won on the margins.
Each side says it couldn’t be closer here — the state where Biden won by just more than 20,600 votes in 2020. Wisconsin is among a handful of states almost certain to decide the election — an essential piece of the “blue wall” that is critical to Harris’ path to the White House. Trump is attempting a replay of 2016, when he denied Democrat Hillary Clinton a victory by capturing each of the blue wall states, including Wisconsin.
Both Harris and Trump will return here Friday, holding dueling rallies in Milwaukee, the state’s largest city.
