Much like its predecessors, the 2024 presidential election will be decided by swing states.
If either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris want to take the White House in November, they need to win a majority of six crucial states which will likely decide the election; namely Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, as well as Wisconsin where both the Republican’s running mate and the Vice President both campaigned on Wednesday, August 7.
The Badger State has typically voted blue throughout modern history; however, its rare switch to the GOP paved the way for Trump in his 2016 electoral win.
Coincidentally, both Harris and Trump’s VP pick J.D. Vance were in Eau Clare on the same day, forcing both to share the tarmac. As reporters gathered outside Air Force Two, Vance jokingly told reporters he was “check[ing] out his future plane” on Wednesday as he walked to the Vice President’s plane.
“I also thought you guys might get lonely because the vice president doesn’t answer questions from reporters, and hasn’t in seventeen days, Vance said. “Have you guys been given an explanation for why she won’t take questions from reporters?” he asked. Much like Harris when facing any actual questioning, the reporters didn’t have a response.
“I hope that she changes her mind, as it would be good for the American people and I think it’d be good for you all if she actually ran a real campaign instead of one from a basement with the teleprompter,” Vance added.
Many on social media had praised for the Ohio Sen., who has previously (correctly) accused Harris of hiding from reporters.
Others noted a familiar face among the Secret Service detail behind Vance.
