Presumptive Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris will hold her first campaign rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Brianna Johnson, communications director for Wisconsin President Harris, announced:
Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to the Milwaukee area for her first rally since announcing her presidential bid Sunday night. This is her ninth visit to Wisconsin since becoming vice president and her fifth visit to the state this year. We are honored to welcome Vice President Harris to the state of Wisconsin she once called home, where she will rally excited supporters as she announces her presidential campaign.
The vice president’s visit comes as every major Democratic elected leader in Wisconsin has endorsed her presidential campaign, including Gov. Tony Evers and every Democratic statewide elected official; Sen. Tammy Baldwin and Congressmen Gwen Moore and Mark Pocan; state legislative Democratic leaders, mayors of Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, and many cities across the state; Wisconsin Democratic Party; and more than 90 percent of Wisconsin’s delegates to the Democratic National Convention.
Democrats have built a massive, coordinated campaign in Wisconsin that is now focused entirely on electing Kamala Harris for president. We have 48 coordinating offices in 43 counties across the state with approximately 160 full-time staff on the ground who are already going door-to-door, making phone calls and interacting with friends and neighbors to fully support Kamala Harris and the Democrats Tickets. We’ll continue to build on that success by hosting events in every corner of the state this week to harness the grassroots energy for Kamala Harris, and we’ll see that in Milwaukee.
As Vice President Harris made clear in her speech to the Harris presidential campaign, she is preparing to file a lawsuit against Donald Trump, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin is the perfect place to draw that contrast. Just last week, Trump and MAGA Republicans were in town for the Republican National Convention, highlighting his 2025 agenda of banning abortion nationwide, raising taxes on middle-class families, and cutting Social Security and Medicare insurance and gives Trump virtually unlimited power. In Milwaukee, Trump showcased J.D. Vance — the rubber stamp of his extreme agenda — the architect of Trump’s family separation policy, the author of Trump’s 2025 plan, and the governor who signed dangerous and extreme abortion protocols ban.
Tomorrow, Vice President Harris’ visit will highlight the choice facing the people of Wisconsin: between Donald Trump, a felon who will drag this country backwards, and her brighter vision for a future in which our freedoms are protected and everyone Americans all have a fair chance.
It has been officially launched. Harris returned to the crime scene of Trump’s rambling, incoherent acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. Vice President Harris has enough delegates to make her the presumptive Democratic nominee. Harris has yet to name her running mate, but that’s not stopping her from campaigning or wasting a second against Donald Trump.
