Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris will face off in Wisconsin for the state’s 10 Electoral College votes. Wisconsin has become a hotly contested swing state that will be critical in deciding the winner this year. Trump’s pitch to voters has focused on the economy, immigration and crime. Harris, since taking over as the Democratic standard-bearer after President Joe Biden dropped out, has argued she would usher in a new era and has campaigned on improving the care economy, protecting abortion rights and guarding democracy. In 2020, Biden won Wisconsin with 49.4% of the vote to Trump’s 48.8%. In 2016, Trump won Wisconsin with 48% to Hillary Clinton’s 47%. The state, a key 2020 battleground, had voted for Democratic candidates in every presidential election since 1988 — though some years the victories were narrow — before Trump flipped it red by a slim margin in 2016.
