Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, is set to hold her first campaign rally in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. Brianna Johnson, Harris for President Wisconsin Communications Director, made the announcement:
Vice President Kamala Harris will be traveling to the Milwaukee area for her first rally since officially declaring her presidential campaign on Sunday evening. This will mark her ninth visit to Wisconsin since taking office as Vice President and her fifth visit to the state just this year. We are thrilled to welcome Vice President Harris back to Wisconsin, a state she once called home. She will be rallying enthusiastic supporters following the announcement of her presidential campaign.
This visit from the Vice President comes at a time when every major Democratic elected leader in Wisconsin has thrown their support behind her presidential bid. This includes Governor Tony Evers, all Democratic statewide elected officials, Senator Tammy Baldwin, Congressmembers Gwen Moore and Mark Pocan, state legislative Democratic leaders, mayors from various cities across the state, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, and over 90% of Wisconsin delegates to the Democratic National Convention.
The Democrats in Wisconsin have erected a substantial Coordinated Campaign solely dedicated to electing Kamala Harris as president. With 48 coordinated offices spread across 43 counties and approximately 160 full-time staff members on the ground, efforts are already underway to engage with voters, knock on doors, make phone calls, and drum up support for Harris and other Democratic candidates. The momentum will be carried forward with a series of events across the state, culminating in a gathering showcasing grassroots energy in Milwaukee.
Vice President Harris has expressed her readiness to make a strong case against Donald Trump. Milwaukee, Wisconsin presents the ideal backdrop for drawing a distinctive contrast. Just recently, Trump and his MAGA Republicans descended on the city for the Republican National Convention, touting their Project 2025 agenda which includes nationwide abortion bans, tax hikes for the middle class, cuts to Social Security and Medicare, and an expansion of Trump’s power. The Vice President’s visit to Milwaukee will underscore the choice facing Wisconsinites – between Trump’s regressive policies and her vision for a future where freedoms are safeguarded and every American has a fair chance.
As we look ahead to tomorrow’s visit by Vice President Harris, the stage is set for a showdown between Trump’s chaotic acceptance speech at the GOP convention and Harris’s promising vision for the future. With enough delegates to secure the nomination, Harris is wasting no time in hitting the campaign trail, despite not having named her running mate. The focus remains on making the case against Trump and rallying support for a brighter future.
