In Wisconsin, Trump courts ‘garbage’ outrage while Harris courts students
+2
GREEN BAY, Wis. — In Green Bay on Wednesday, Trump donned an orange vest and climbed into a garbage truck to try to highlight a gaffe President Joe Biden made just the day before.
Nearly 160 miles away in Madison, Harris stepped onstage to thousands of screaming students and vowed she would chart a new way forward.
The split-screen played out in this key swing state six days ahead of the election, as both campaigns sprinted across battlegrounds to rally their voters in what’s expected to be a race won on the margins.
Each side says it couldn’t be closer here — the state where Biden won by just more than 20,600 votes in 2020. Wisconsin is among a handful of states almost certain to decide the election — an essential piece of the “blue wall” that is critical to Harris’ path to the White House. Trump is attempting a replay of 2016, when he denied Democrat Hillary Clinton a victory by capturing each of the blue wall states, including Wisconsin.
Both Harris and Trump will return here Friday, holding dueling rallies in Milwaukee, the state’s largest city.
