As the race for the presidency heats up, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have scheduled concurrent rallies in Milwaukee, turning Wisconsin into a critical battleground state. According to a Washington Post polling average, Harris holds a slight edge in Wisconsin, a key state anticipated to play a pivotal role in the upcoming election.

In addition to her Milwaukee rally, Harris made additional campaign stops across Wisconsin, aiming to solidify her position. On the other hand, Donald Trump held a rally in Warren, Michigan, where he highlighted his support from the Muslim and Arab American communities. This marks a significant shift from his 2015 stance, where he called for a "complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States" and later imposed a travel ban on several majority-Muslim countries during his presidency.

Harris’s campaign has maintained a narrow lead nationally and in states like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada. However, her advantage in Pennsylvania has decreased in the past week. Meanwhile, Trump continues to lead in Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina. The Democrats have substantially outspent Republicans on digital advertising, putting nearly three times as much into online ads, according to AdImpact data.

At his rally in Warren, Trump attacked former congresswoman Liz Cheney, suggesting she lacks the courage for a combat scenario and claiming their fallout was over foreign policy disagreements. Trump also took aim at Kamala Harris, accusing her of harboring disdain for Americans and linking her to President Joe Biden's controversial "garbage" remark, which Biden clarified was directed at a comedian's racist insult rather than the public.

In Dearborn, Michigan, Trump's campaign stop emphasized his appeal to Arab American and Muslim voters, particularly in light of the Israel-Gaza conflict and U.S. foreign policy. Meanwhile, Harris's speech in Janesville, Wisconsin focused on what she described as Trump's "empty promises" to American workers, especially highlighting his unfulfilled promise to create 13,000 manufacturing jobs with a Foxconn plant in Wisconsin.

Additionally, Trump criticized the latest jobs report and repeated claims about previously revised job numbers, calling them the "lowest number in years." He also boasted about his contributions to Black Americans while warning that migrants might take their jobs.

As Election Day approaches, the rallies in Milwaukee underscore the intense efforts both candidates are making to sway voters in crucial swing states, with Wisconsin standing at the forefront of this battle.
