NEW DELHI: The New Indian team has arrived in Wisconsin after covering New Jersey and New York to gauge voter reactions ahead of the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. The Milwaukee stop reveals a significant divide between supporters of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, highlighting the competitive landscape of this crucial battleground state.
Local resident Elle noted that Trump finds strong backing in suburban areas, where many voters believe his policies resonate with key issues, enhancing his chances of winning Wisconsin. Linda, a logistics worker, expressed confidence in Trump’s leadership, stating, “Trump knows what he’s doing and has a good shot at winning Wiscon
Conversely, business owner Natasha predicted a narrow victory for Kamala Harris in the overall election. Her supporters view Harris as a leader dedicated to the betterment of the majority, although some Trump loyalists question her capabilities. One interviewee remarked, “Kamala would make a great talk show host but not a country leader,” reflecting the skepticism among some voters.
The split in voter sentiment underscores the fierce competition as both candidates focus on key battleground states like Wisconsin. Trump officially launched his campaign during a rally in Milwaukee on July 23, energizing his base. However, local resident Nick Carey expressed disappointment over Trump’s controversial remark, stating, “We need to make Israel great again.”
As the election approaches, both Trump and Harris are mobilizing their supporters in Wisconsin. The state is crucial for both campaigns; in the 2020 election, Joe Biden narrowly won Wisconsin by just 0.63%, defying polls that had him ahead. Trump had previously claimed the state in 2016, making it evident that Wisconsin will play a pivotal role in determining the outcome of the 2024 presidential race.
The 2024 United States presidential election, marking the 60th quadrennial election, is scheduled for Tuesday, November 5, 2024. On this day, voters from each state and the District of Columbia will select electors for the Electoral College, who will ultimately elect the president and vice president for a four-year term.
