Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Kamala Harris campaigned in Madison, Wisconsin, a crucial city full of young voters, in hopes of turning the state in favor of the Democrats in the upcoming election. Despite the state delivering razor-thin margins in the past two presidential elections, Harris remains optimistic about her chances.
Recent polling shows Harris and President Trump neck-and-neck in Wisconsin, with three polls suggesting a virtual tie between the two candidates. Harris has been focusing on issues such as abortion rights, which she sees as a galvanizing issue for young voters and a cornerstone of her campaign.
During her campaign event, Harris shared the story of a woman who died after being denied abortion care, emphasizing the importance of reproductive rights. She promised to continue sharing the woman’s story to raise awareness of the impact of restrictive abortion laws.
With Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes up for grabs, the state’s college-age population, including students from the University of Wisconsin in Madison, will play a crucial role in deciding the election outcome. The Democratic-coordinated campaign has been met with enthusiasm, with college students showing a strong willingness to participate in the electoral process.
The young voter effect in Wisconsin was evident in the past election, where students played a significant role in electing a liberal majority to the state’s supreme court. Harris and her campaign are counting on the enthusiasm of young voters to help secure a victory in the upcoming election, emphasizing the importance of the election in safeguarding democracy.
