Signs show renewed enthusiasm among supporters in the largest city in the key electoral battleground state of Wisconsin
In July, days after securing the pledged support of enough Democratic Party delegates to become her party’s nominee for president, Harris’s first rally was in Milwaukee, where she told attendees, “the path to the White House goes through Wisconsin.”As recently as a month ago, the U.S.
She added that while some Black voters had expressed disappointment over the slow progress of specific issues relevant to them – such as the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, both of which have stalled in Congress – waning support for the Democratic Party had not generally meant a shift toward Republican values. Rather, voters had said they were feeling less motivated to vote at all.
Wisconsin has leaned Democratic since 1988 – a streak broken in 2016 when Mr. Trump won the state by just 0.7 percentage points over Hillary Clinton. It returned to the Democratic fold in 2020, when Mr. Biden eked out a margin of 0.63 percentage points over Mr. Trump. Polling in the days after Mr. Biden’s exit has shown a possible shift in Ms. Harris’s direction among Black voters. A nationwide poll conducted for CNN at the end of July found that 78 per cent of Black respondents supported Ms. Harris over Mr. Trump, whereas Mr. Biden had 70-per-cent support among the same group of voters in April and June. Other surveys showed similar increases.
