Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin showed her support for Vice President Kamala Harris during Harris’s first campaign rally since President Joe Biden endorsed her as his successor. Baldwin’s decision to publicly support Harris, after avoiding appearances with Biden since January, suggests that she believes aligning with the vice president could improve her chances of retaining her seat in November.
At the rally in Milwaukee, Harris endorsed Baldwin warmly as the senator faces a challenge from Republican Eric Hovde. Baldwin and other Wisconsin Democrats are rallying around Harris, recognizing her ability to engage voters and continue the winning streak for the Democratic party in the battleground state.
With Baldwin leading in the polls but facing a narrower margin of victory than in her previous election, and Harris working to maintain Democratic support in Wisconsin, the upcoming election promises to be a closely contested race. Harris emphasized Wisconsin’s importance in her rally, affirming that “the path to the White House goes through Wisconsin.”
As the campaign heats up in Wisconsin, both Harris and Baldwin are working to secure their positions in the state’s political landscape, with the support of Democratic leaders and the party’s dedicated voters.
