Wisconsin Delegates for DNC begin to rally behind Harris
MILWAUKEE — Wisconsin Delegates for the Democratic National Convention are sharing their support for Vice President Kamala Harris after President Joe Biden suspended his campaign.
“I wanted to make sure we shared gratitude and that we are very much in support of Vice President Harris. We are collectively supporting her across the finish line,” said Nadiyah Johnson, a district delegate from Milwaukee.
President Joe Biden announced Sunday in a letter to the nation that he would no longer seek reelection and is ending his 2024 presidential campaign.
Shortly after the announcement, he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the potential nominee.
“Shock. Total shock. Surprise. A little bit of heartbreak, especially after meeting with him two weeks ago exactly,” Korbey White, a delegate from Verona, shared.
In under a month, delegates like White and others nationwide will attend the 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago to formalize a nominee.
While many delegates expressed mixed feelings of gratitude and sadness, they also are looking forward.
“Now is a chance to get in a state of unity and I look forward to seeing that happen at the DNC,” Johnson said.
In Wisconsin, 95 delegates and seven alternates will travel to the conference.
While the Wisconsin Delegation has not unanimously backed Harris, some delegates tell TMJ4 it seems they are headed in that direction.
“This is a demonstration of a party and a family acting responsibly in light of the current situation,” Craig Mastantuono, a delegate from Milwaukee, explained.
“People are doubling down on moving forward with the vice president.”
The eight Milwaukee delegates to the DNC shared this statement with TMJ4:
“As the eight Milwaukee delegates to the DNC, we wish to express our respect and admiration for Joe Biden, and deep appreciation for his remarkable presidency. Joe Biden has always put his country first, and he continues that today. We are excited to support Kamala Harris as our presidential nominee. We have full confidence in her and are energized to help her win this November!”
Those delegates are encouraging voters to pay attention now more than ever.
“I hope people realize the gravity of this important moment. It’s a historic moment for sure,” Johnson said.
The 2024 Democratic National Convention is scheduled for Aug. 19-22 in Chicago.

(WLUK) — Snow remains deep across parts of the Northwoods and the Upper Peninsula, even though much of Northeast Wisconsin has seen notable snow-melting heading toward spring.
It’s connected to a shift in Pacific climate patterns.
As of Thursday, 75.1% of the Northern Great Lakes area was covered by snow. Snow depth across the Northwoods and the U.P. ranges from 20 to 30 inches, with areas along and north of Highway 8 in Wisconsin at about 20 inches.
But farther south, significant snowmelt has occurred over the last few weeks across Northeast Wisconsin and the southern half of the state.
Looking ahead, an ENSO-neutral spring is looking likely, meaning Pacific Ocean temperatures are not notably above or below average. Conditions tend to be more normal and seasonal, though that does not guarantee typical weather.
La Niña occurs when the Pacific Ocean has below-average temperatures across the central and east-central portions of the equatorial region. El Niño is the opposite, with warmer ocean temperatures in those regions. Those shifts influence weather across the United States and globally.
In Wisconsin, a La Niña spring is usually colder and wetter, while an El Niño spring brings warmer and drier conditions. During a neutral period, neither El Niño nor La Niña is in control and weather can swing either direction.
Despite the snowpack up north, the 2026 spring outlook from Green Bay’s National Weather Service leans toward a low flood risk, because ongoing drought in parts of the state is helping to absorb snowmelt.
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
Dry conditions are also raising fire concerns in several parts of the country. Low snowfall in states out west is increasing wildfire concerns, and those areas are already experiencing drought. Wildfire activity can increase quickly if above-normal temperatures and below-normal precipitation continue into spring. About half of the lower 48 states are in drought this week — an increase of 16% since January.
