Vice President Kamala Harris Wisconsin visit; Brookfield campaign event
BROOKFIELD, Wis. - Kamala Harris is teaming up with Liz Cheney during a campaign visit to Waukesha County on Monday, Oct. 21.
Harris is campaigning Monday evening at the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts in Brookfield. FOX6 News plans to stream this event on FOX6Now.com and the FOX6 News Milwaukee YouTube channel.

Waukesha County has the largest number of Republican voters in the state, but GOP support there has been dropping.
Dems on the move
Harris and Cheney started the day in Philadelphia. She also planned a stop in Oakland County in suburban Detroit before finally making her way to Waukesha County.
With just over two weeks to go before the presidential election and the race a dead heat, the Democratic nominee is looking for support from every possible voter. Her campaign is hoping to persuade those who haven’t made up their minds, mobilize any Democrats considering sitting this one out, and pick off voters in areas where support for Trump may be fading.

A few votes here and there could add up to an overall win. In Waukesha County, for example, Haley won more than 9,000 primary votes even after she dropped out of the race.
Overall, Wisconsin was decided for President Joe Biden in 2020 by just 20,000 votes.
In-person early voting in the state starts Tuesday.
Reaction
WisGOP Chairman Brian Schimming
"Four years ago, Liz Cheney warned voters of Kamala Harris' extreme agenda, including an 'Absentee ballots for al Qaeda' program and her plan to 'take away guns & health insurance' from working families. Now the Harris-Walz campaign is trotting out Cheney in a desperate attempt to salvage their dwindling support in the final days of this campaign. Liz Cheney may have changed. But the facts about Kamala Harris remain the same: she is too extreme for Wisconsin."
Jacob Fischer, Team Trump Wisconsin Communications Director
"Showing off irrelevant former ‘Republicans’ of the past at campaign events doesn’t change the fact that Kamala Harris is running to extend her record of unlimited illegal immigration, rising prices, and endless wars abroad by another four years. Another incompetent Harris administration is the last thing Wisconsinites want or need, regardless of Liz Cheney’s opinions."
