Kamala Harris' Wisconsin visit this week will be in liberal voting stronghold of Madison
MADISON — Vice President Kamala Harris will hold a rally early in the evening in Madison on Friday, her campaign confirmed Monday.
The Democratic presidential candidate's return to Wisconsin is part of a swing through "blue wall" battleground states including Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Harris is scheduled to participate in a "fireside chat" hosted by the National Association of Black Journalists in Philadelphia on Tuesday, followed by a "Unite for America" livestream event with Oprah Winfrey in Michigan on Thursday and the Madison event on Friday.

The latest swing follows the campaign's "New Way Forward" tour and the only scheduled debate between Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump. The campaign is set to host events "in every media market in every key battleground state in just four days."
Madison most recently hosted a presidential campaign rally when President Joe Biden visited Sherman Middle School in July, as he faced calls from within his own party to abandon his reelection bid following his debate against Republican former President Donald Trump.
The state's capital city was also the site of massive rallies held by Democratic former President Barack Obama, including a 2012 visit with an introduction by Bruce Springsteen.
Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance is also scheduled to return to Wisconsin this week, with a Tuesday campaign stop in Eau Claire. It will be the Ohio U.S. senator's second stop in Eau Claire — and fifth trip to the state — since Trump tapped him to be his running mate in July during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, campaigned in Wausau on Friday and held a rally in Superior on Saturday.
A new Marquette University Law School poll released Wednesday showed Harris with a four-point lead over Trump.
It also showed Harris leading for the first time among the most enthusiastic voters, while Trump held that advantage when President Joe Biden was still in the race and during the early days of Harris' own campaign.
In the poll, Walz was the only name at the top of the ticket — including third-party candidates — with a net positive favorability rating, meaning more people view him favorably than unfavorably. Harris and Trump both have net negative favorability.
Harris' last Wisconsin rally was at Milwaukee's Fiserv Forum on Aug. 20, appearing along with Walz during the second night of the Democratic National Convention.
