Kamala Harris aims to keep lead in Wisconsin

-

(NewsNation) — Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are both in Wisconsin Friday.

Harris is hoping to keep her slight lead in the polls over Trump in the Badger State. Earlier this week, she did a swing through the Sun Belt, going to Arizona and Nevada on Thursday to talk about fighting for workers and raising the minimum wage.

At an event in Nevada, actress and singer Jennifer Lopez spoke, criticizing a comedian from a Trump rally in New York’s Madison Square Garden who on Sunday called Puerto Rico a “floating pile of garbage.”

“You can’t even spell American without Rican,” Lopez said. “This is our country, too, and we must exercise our right to vote on Nov. 5”

Speakers at Trump’s weekend rally faced backlash for crude and racist comments, but the GOP presidential candidate defended the scene as a “lovefest.” This was something Harris hit on in Nevada.

“Listen to what he’s saying as his closing argument. It’s all about hate and division. Jennifer talked about it,” Harris said. “It’s all about hate and division. And it’s not just what he says, it’s what he will do.”

As of Friday morning, Harris was pulling two points ahead of Trump in Wisconsin overall, with 50% over his 48%, according to a survey from Marist College. Much of her support came from female voters. Harris leads Trump 55% to 43% among women in the Marist poll.

For the rest of Friday, Harris has been going across Wisconsin, with an afternoon stop in Janesville before a rally in suburban Milwaukee.

In a press call, senior campaign officials said internal data indicates Harris is winning battleground voters by double-digit margins. Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, focus group data shows, didn’t just impact how Puerto Ricans and Latinos view the race — but also undecided voters at large, campaign officials said.

So far, the campaign has knocked on over 13 million doors across battleground states, and made over 100 million to these kinds of voters.
