Battleground state face-off: Harris, Trump hold dueling rallies miles apart

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump hold competing rallies around the same time Friday night just a few miles apart in battleground Wisconsin's largest city.

With just four days until Election Day, the Democratic and Republican presidential nominees made their final stops in Wisconsin, where nearly all the latest public opinion polls indicate a margin-of-error race between the two candidates.

In order to carry Wisconsin, Harris needs to run up the score in Milwaukee and its surrounding suburbs in order to make up for the expected red-wave in the state's rural counties.

Trump, holding court at Milwaukee's Fiserv Forum - the same arena where he accepted his party's presidential nomination during the Republican National Convention in July - told his supporters "I want your damn vote."

Speaking ahead of Harris at her rally was popular rapper and songwriter Cardi B, who told the crowd she hadn't planned on voting in the presidential election until Harris replaced President Biden in July atop the Democrats' 2024 ticket.

"As of this weekend, the way to predict the winner is to flip a coin. It's that close," University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee professor emeritus Mordecai Lee told Fox News.

The Democratic and Republican Parties' vice presidential nominees - Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, respectively - have also both crisscrossed Wisconsin, and major surrogates - including former Presidents Obama and Clinton for Harris - have parachuted into the Badger State. Obama returns on Sunday.

Both campaigns and their aligned committees and super PACs have also flooded Wisconsin airwaves with TV ads in the closing stretch leading up to Election Day next week.

Democrats reliably won all three states for a quarter-century before Trump narrowly captured them in the 2016 election over Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton to win the White House.
