Former Vice President Kamala Harris made a stop in battleground Wisconsin on Monday, appearing at a rally for David Crowley in Milwaukee. The event took place at the Pfister Hotel and came eight days before Election Day. Both campaigns are crisscrossing the state with bus tours as the race for governor enters its final stretch.
The rally took place ahead of the third game of the World Series, and Harris, a Giants fan, got a lighthearted moment when someone in the crowd shouted, "Go Brewers." She laughed and responded, "Don't get me started on that, but good luck to you." She added: "I'm not touching that, but good luck."
Turning to a more serious tone, Harris spoke about the mood among many Americans over the past year and a half. "For the last year and a half, I know many of us have been going through a whole lot of emotion: anger, sadness, disappointment, destruction, depression, all kinds of emotions," she said.
She said that many people have felt powerless during that time. "People have been feeling like 'I can't do anything about this,'" Harris said. She added that she knows how much pain people are in and how it is creating fear among many communities.
Earlier on Monday, Congressman Tom Tiffany campaigned in Kenosha, where he took aim at the decision to bring Harris into the state. "They brought in Kamala this week," Tiffany said. "It's a Kamala Monday in Wisconsin. That's how desperate the Crowley campaign is at this moment. They had to bring Kamala Harris, of all people, into Wisconsin to campaign with him."
The contrast between the two events highlights the national figures lining up behind each candidate. Harris is backing Crowley, while President Trump has endorsed Tiffany.
Voters will decide who becomes Wisconsin's next governor on Tuesday, Nov. 3. Early, in-person voting is already underway across the state.
