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.

The move comes after Polaris announced it was separating from Indian Motorcycle.
Powersports company Polaris has announced it plans to wind down the operations at its facility in Osceola which specializes in manufacturing Indian Motorcycle.
The move impacts roughly 200 Wisconsin workers at the facility.
On Jan. 27, during a fourth quarter and full year earnings call for 2025, Polaris said the company expects to sell Indian Motorcycle by the end of the first quarter of 2026 to Carolwood, a private equity firm based in Los Angeles. However the company plans to maintain some stake in the company.
Polaris officials said called the sale of Indian Motorcycle was a “difficult decision” and added it was a “move that we believe is best for Polaris and Indian Motorcycle.”
In a post on X, Wisconsin Democrat Sen. Tammy Baldwin said:
“We have seen this story in Wisconsin too many times – a private equity firm buys a company, hollows it out, & fires its workers, all to pad their profits. It’s simply wrong.”

“For years, Wisconsinites have been asking when they’d finally be able to enjoy a cold Yuengling close to home — often smuggling our beer back from eastern states and sharing their excitement with us on social media,” said Debbie, a sixth-generation Yuengling family member. “That day is finally here. We are so excited that our Wisconsin fans will no longer have to fill their car trunks with six-packs of Lager and can simply order one at their favorite neighborhood bar!”

The brewery’s lineup includes Traditional Lager, Light Lager, Black & Tan, Golden Pilsner, Flight, Premium, Premium Light, Dark Brewed Porter, Lord Chesterfield Ale, Oktoberfest, Bock and Bongo Fizz.
To kick off the statewide celebration, Yuengling will host an official launch party at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 27, at Wolski’s in Milwaukee.
