NEW DELHI: As the 2024 presidential election approaches, voters in Wisconsin are weighing their options between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Recent conversations in Milwaukee reveal a mix of support and skepticism regarding both candidates.
Speaking to The New Indian, a business owner El said, “I think Kamala stands a better chance,” while acknowledging that the margin is slim. This sentiment reflects a broader hope among some voters that Harris can resonate with the electorate. Conversely, another voter emphasized, “Donald J. Trump, absolutely 100 percent. He should have a better chance for our country.” This individual believes Trump’s policies align more closely with their views on national priorities.

Speaking to The New Indian, Natasha, a Milwaukee resident, shared her perspective on the race. “Here in Wisconsin, a lot of people are for Trump. This is one of the states they need to flip,” she remarked. Despite her observation, she noted, “I don’t know if Kamala Harris’s team is going to be able to do it.” Her companion, El, echoed this sentiment, suggesting that larger, more diverse cities might lean toward Harris, but “once you leave Milwaukee, all you see are Trump signs.”
El added while speaking to The New Indian, “I’m trying to convince people to vote for Kamala,” emphasizing her belief that Harris is the superior candidate. However, she admitted, “If you travel 15 minutes outside of Milwaukee, it’s Trump territory.” The contrasting urban and rural dynamics illustrate the challenges Harris faces in appealing to a state historically known for its electoral swings.
