Kamala Harris in Wisconsin today: Live updates of vice president’s schedule, events in Milwaukee, La Crosse, Green Bay
How polling can vary in Wisconsin
Veteran political reporter Craig Gilbert explains how polling in Wisconsin can vary and how historically they have been too close to call.
Vice President Kamala Harris has campaign stops for the 2024 presidential election planned across Wisconsin Thursday, starting in Milwaukee and then heading to La Crosse and Green Bay.
Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, is scheduled to meet with students at UW-Milwaukee.
With less than three weeks to go until Election Day, the campaign trail is especially focused on battleground states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Thursday will mark her sixth visit to Wisconsin as a presidential candidate, and her third stop in Milwaukee County. She launched her presidential campaign here in late July with a rally in West Allis.
Harris’ race against former president Donald Trump continues to be extremely tight in its final weeks. In the Marquette University Law School poll released earlier this month, she maintained a four-point lead over Trump in Wisconsin, within the poll’s margin of error. Among both registered and likely voters in Wisconsin, it was 52% for Harris and 48% for Trump.

Kamala Harris is holding campaign events in Milwaukee, La Crosse and Green Bay on Thursday.
Harris is meeting with UW-Milwaukee students at approximately 12:20 p.m. She’ll leave Milwaukee around 1:20 p.m. and head to La Crosse in western Wisconsin.
Harris will then speak at an event in La Crosse around 3:15 p.m. She’ll leave around 4:45 p.m. and head to Green Bay.
She will arrive in Green Bay at about 5:35 p.m. and then speak at an event at 6:15 p.m. Harris will depart Green Bay for Grand Rapids, Michigan, around 7:25 p.m. ahead of campaign events in that swing state on Friday.
Harris’ event at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is labeled as a “meet and greet” with students. Media Milwaukee reported multiple students had received invitations via text message.
East Layton Avenue will be closed between South Pennsylvania and South Howell avenues on Thursday afternoon, the Cudahy Police Department said in a Facebook post.
The northbound on-ramp to Interstate 794 and left turn lane from South Pennsylvania on to East Layton Avenue during Harris’ departure will also be closed.
Dallas Mavericks owner and billionaire businessman Mark Cuban will campaign with Harris in Milwaukee and La Crosse.
Cuban, also one of the celebrity investors of the long-running TV show “Shark Tank,” has been a vocal critic of Trump over the years.
The vice president arrived in Milwaukee on Wednesday night. She stayed at the Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee.
Harris arrived in Milwaukee after holding an event on Wednesday in Pennsylvania. She was in Bucks County at Washington Crossing Historic Park in Upper Makefield Township for a rally.
The event was meant to showcase cross-party support for Harris. Several Republicans were in attendance and spoke at the rally. This was similar to when former Republican Wyoming congresswoman Liz Cheney campaigned and stood on stage with Harris in Ripon, Wisconsin, earlier this month to back the vice president over Trump.
The theme of these rallies has been “Country over Party.”
She was in Eerie, Pennsylvania, on Monday. Like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and its 19 electoral votes is a critical state for victory for both Harris and Trump.
Harris’ Wisconsin appearances also come a day after she sat down with Fox News host Bret Baier for an interview.
Watch it here:
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5.
Since becoming the Democratic nominee for president after Joe Biden decided against running again, Harris has made Wisconsin a top priority.
She kicked off her campaign at West Allis Central High School in July, held an outdoor rally with new vice president nominee Tim Walz in early August from Eau Claire, hosted a sold-out rally during the second night of the Democratic National Convention at Fiserv Forum in August, energized the base in Wisconsin’s state capital Madison last month and earlier in October visited the home of the Republican Party in Ripon, Wisconsin.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
