Wisconsin voters will once again be central in determining who wins the White House in November. The presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump will likely be determined based on the outcome of the election in Wisconsin and a handful of other states. Given the state’s importance, be prepared for a flood of television ads from both sides and a flurry of visits from the candidates and their running mates.

What to know

The presidential race was turned upside down in July when Democratic President Joe Biden announced that he would drop out of the race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor.

Biden’s decision came on the heels of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where GOP delegates once again nominated former President Donald Trump as their candidate. During their time in Wisconsin, Republicans had an air of invincibility to them — largely rooted in Biden’s disastrous debate performance on June 27.

The momentum then seemed to shift. Harris’ candidacy was met with a wave of energy that translated to eye-popping fundraising and Wisconsin Democrats surging past their Republican neighbors in enthusiasm. Now, Harris leads in polling aggregates both nationally and here in Wisconsin.

Following a head-to-head debate between Harris and Trump in Philadelphia, the campaigns are entering the final sprint to Election Day. Both candidates and their running mates — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for Harris and U.S. Sen. JD Vance for Trump — are bouncing from battleground state to battleground state, stopping along the way to raise the funds needed to flood television markets in swing states with television ads.

In the weeks leading up to Election Day, expect the airwaves to be inundated with ads, regular knocks on your front door from canvassers and a wave of visits from the candidates and their surrogates.
