In Wisconsin, 1.3 million people have already voted. Four of the last six presidential elections in the state have been decided by less than one point, with 20,000 votes separating the winner and loser in both 2016 and 2020. In 2000, Al Gore was only 5,700 votes ahead of George W. Bush in the state.

Official statements

Jacob Fischer, communications director for Team Trump Wisconsin

“President Trump’s “America First” agenda is aimed at ALL Americans and is exactly why he has created the largest coalition of supporters, including Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., Brett Favre, Elon Musk and many others. Kamala Harris' desperate attempt to distract voters from her disastrous record won't work. Blunt speeches from Cardi B or Jennifer Garner won't close the border or lower costs for Wisconsin residents. Wisconsin voters know that President Trump will fix what Kamala broke and that he will show up in droves on Tuesday to Make America Great Again.”
