The race for Wisconsin is caught in a dead heat between Harris and Trump with just days until the 2024 election.
The battle for Wisconsin is caught in a dead heat between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump in the final days of the 2024 election.
The Badger State is set to be among a handful of states that could tip the results of the presidential election. Harris held a slight lead in the key swing state shortly after she entered the presidential race, but the gap with Trump has closed as November 5 inches closer.
President Joe Biden won Wisconsin in 2020, flipping the state that sided with Trump during his first presidential run in 2016. But Trump lost the state by just 0.63 percentage points, or around 20,000 votes. Four years prior, Trump beat then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton by just 0.7 percentage points.
According to FiveThirtyEight, as of Wednesday, the vice president is leading her Republican opponent by 0.4 points on average across statewide polls, and several recent surveys have found that the candidates are tied in Wisconsin. In a poll released by Quinnipiac University on Wednesday, Harris and Trump were locked at 48 percent apiece, based on the responses of 1,108 likely voters.
