Tomorrow is the big day that we are going to vote in large numbers in the state of Wisconsin. We are going to vote for change, we are going to vote for American prosperity. We are going to vote for Donald J. “Trump is the president of the United States.”

    On Vance’s last visit to the Badger State, he urged his supporters to vote Tuesday if they had not already returned an absentee ballot.

    “In this election, I tell you, in the state of Wisconsin, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, you will win on Election Day or you will lose on Election Day,” he said.

    Vance criticizes Kamala Harris as “candidate for more of the same”

    Vance argued that Harris would not represent a break with President Joe Biden’s administration and sought to link her to voters’ concerns about the economy.

    Vance references Prairie du Chien when addressing immigration

    As Republicans have done throughout this campaign cycle, Vance focused many of his comments on illegal immigration.

Wisconsin Democratic Coordinated Campaign, Kristi Johnston. ““That’s why Wisconsinites are voting in historic numbers: They’re voting for Vice President Harris and Governor Walz and their plans to reduce costs, protect freedoms, and strengthen the middle class.”
