Wisconsin’s first LGBTQ historic landmark was dedicated this week near the former Black Nite tavern in Milwaukee, at the corner of West St. Paul and North Plankinton avenues.

The Harris and Walz team held a huge outdoor rally in Eau Claire, drawing crowds from Wisconsin and neighboring Minnesota – a day after Governor Walz joined Harris on the ticket as her running mate.

It was a rock moment for Tim Walz as he walked into the national spotlight – less than 48 after hours joining the race

He left no doubt with these voters on why he’s on the Democratic ticket.

“Just like Wisconsin, over in Minnesota, we believed in the second amendment,” said Walz, a 24, year veteran of the Army National Guard. “But we also believe in common sense gun violence laws.”

Pat Meyer and Lynn Lundeberg drove 90 miles to see their governor as the VP pick.

Meyer sees the two-term governor as a guy with common sense.

“If you’re ever around Tim, he knows he has to give sometimes on issues, he may have to negotiate and arrive at some conclusion but in general he’s pretty happy about the whole thing,” said Meyer. “He’s not a curmudgeon.”

Christie Reynolds feels more energy with the new Democratic ticket. She made the trip from Waupaca for one reason.

“I want to see a woman president. I’ve waited since Geraldine Ferraro, since 3rd grade and I’m really excited,” said Reynolds. “I didn’t realize that couldn’t happen then but I think it can happen now!”

She’s not alone – thousands waited in the summer sun to see Harris and Walz.

“We will fight continue to fight for affordable housing, affordable health care, affordable child care, and paid leave,” said Harris. “And understand in this fight – as Tim Walz says, we are joyful warriors.”

Nine out of 10 voters say they don’t know much about Tim Walz – but with campaign rallies like this one, and 90 days to go until Election Day, the race has been reset and it looks like it will be another close one in Wisconsin.

A new Marquette Law School poll shows that Kamala Harris has a slight edge over Donald Trump in Wisconsin.

Among likely voters, Harris has 46 percent support, while Trump has 45 percent. Third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy has 8 percent.

In the U.S. Senate race, incumbent Democrat Tammy Baldwin has a lead over Republican Eric Hovde, 51 percent to 45 percent among likely voters.

Two independent candidates have two points each.

Sen. JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential candidate, on Wednesday attempted to confront Vice President Kamala Harris after the two converged on the same Wisconsin airport at the same time.

“I just wanted to check out my future plane,” Vance, R-Ohio, told reporters traveling with him after walking towards Air Force Two. “But I also wanted to go say hello to the Vice President and ask her …why does she refuse to answer questions from the media?”

Vance and Harris were both in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, for dueling events.

Harris, and her newly minted running mate Gov. Tim Walz, held an outdoor rally where hundreds of supporters lined up for hours to see the Democratic duo. Vance spoke at Wollard International, an aviation equipment manufacturer, to an intimate crowd, where he also took questions.

Although he walked towards Air Force Two, Vance said he did not speak or see Harris. Harris’ motorcade drove away as Vance walked over.

He took a jab at Harris, who is currently on a campaign swing to key battleground states after announcing Walz as her vice presidential pick, for “just giving another scripted speech.”

“I don’t think the Vice President waved at me as she drove away, but I’m glad to have done it,” Vance said.

Both Vance and Harris referenced the tarmac two-step on social media.

Vance on X, formerly Twitter, posted a photo of himself and members of his team walking away from Air Force Two. He captioned it: “This Entourage reboot is going to be awesome.”

The Harris campaign posted a video of Harris greeting young girls on the tarmac before panning to Vance’s plane taxiing on the tarmac.

The campaign used a viral audio clip of Dance Mom’s Abby Lee Miller saying: “And now I want to sit back and relax, and enjoy my evening. When all of a sudden, I hear this agitating, grating voice.” The sound is often used to depict an annoying interruption.
