Vice President Kamala Harris headed to La Crosse
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris plans to return to Wisconsin next week for her third visit to the battleground state this year.
President Joe Biden’s campaign announced Thursday that Harris plans to campaign in La Crosse on Monday at an event focused on abortion rights. The White House said Harris will also hold a second event there focused on the economy and health care.
Harris was in Madison last month and in Waukesha in January for the first of her trips focused on abortion.
Wisconsin is one of a handful of presidential battleground states across the country. The latest Marquette University Law School poll, released Wednesday, showed the race between Biden and former President Donald Trump to be about even.
Trump campaigned in Wisconsin for the first time this year earlier this month, holding a rally in Green Bay. Biden was in Madison last week to announce his latest student loan forgiveness plan.
Trump won Wisconsin in 2016 but lost to Biden in 2020. Both races were decided by fewer than 23,000 votes.

Actually, the Marquette poll showed Trump ahead 51 to 49% among all voters and likely voters.
Sorry, but facts should matter, even to WIZM. Other AP affiliates had no problem referencing the actual figures.
Glad Harris is showing up; likely to improve Trump’s numbers.

The survey was conducted April 3-10, 2024, interviewing 814 Wisconsin registered voters, with a margin of error of +/- 4.8 percentage points. Of the full sample, 736 are considered likely voters, and the margin of error for that group is +/- 5 percentage points.

Maybe WIZM can follow up with Harris on Biden’s claim his uncle was eaten by cannibals in WWII.
Yes, he actually said that.
LOL

Yeah, the cacophony of cackling chaos and lies is heading to LaCrosse to tell us what? That inflation is going to keep going up because ‘we ain’t a gonna quit spending money’! That the US borders are toast and are really just guidelines! That puberty blockers are great, parents have no rights, men can be women, women can be men, the unborn should be allowed to killed at all times, even into early child birth. That Joe doesn’t really have dementia or alzheimers, he knows who he is, where he is at, he has all his faculties and it doesn’t really matter anyway, it is all Donald Trumps fault!
It’s gonna be a great day for liars and posers…..

Very well said. Instead of advocating for abortion, wouldn’t it make more sense for her to advocate against engaging and behaviors that caused unwanted children to be conceived. Abortion is not healthcare.
To end on a positive note, maybe she will bring a yellow school bus or some diagrams.

Mitch Reynolds was not mayor when Donald Trump was going to visit La Crosse in October of 2020. Trump also contracted COVID-19, cancelled the visit and spent three nights at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

Again, since one comment wasn’t enough, Mitch Reynolds was not mayor when Donald Trump was going to visit La Crosse in October of 2020. Trump also contracted COVID-19, cancelled the visit and spent three nights at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
