The campaign previously announced Harris would be in Milwaukee, La Crosse and Green Bay on Thursday.

The visits come less than three weeks before the Nov. 5 election, in which Harris will face former President Donald Trump. The two candidates are in a close race in this critical phase.

Harris visited UW-Milwaukee back in May 2021, when she toured the university's clean energy labs and discussed President Joe Biden's infrastructure plan during her first trip to Wisconsin as vice president. The following year, in September 2022, she also met with UWM students and Latino leaders and took a political science class.
