Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders to stump for Harris in Wisconsin

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) are taking the stage in Madison, Wis., to campaign for Vice President Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Monday night.

Sanders is also scheduled to make an appearance in Oshkosh, Wis., on Monday afternoon. With early voting well underway across the country already, the pair will rally to get out the vote.

Former President Trump is also set to rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday and Friday this week.

With just more than a week left before Election Day, Wisconsin is one of the handful of swing states that could determine the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.

Turnout on Wisconsin’s first day of early voting in person for the 2024 election surpassed the level seen on the same day in the 2020 election, with some 97,000 people coming out on Oct. 22.

A USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Monday shows Trump leading Harris by 1 point among likely voters in Wisconsin, with 48 percent support to Harris’s 47 percent. President Biden won the Badger State in 2020 by just more than 20,000 votes.

The broad Wisconsin survey shows trends similar to those seen in other recent polls of the state. After previously trailing Harris, Trump has gained a very slight edge over the vice president in The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s Wisconsin polling average, with the GOP candidate leading with 48.5 percent support to Harris’s 48.1 percent.
