Trump flips Wisconsin, adding to battleground winning streak
Former President Trump was projected to defeat Vice President Harris in battleground Wisconsin, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Trump is set to take the swing state’s 10 Electoral College votes, scoring a critical win for Republicans in the Midwestern “blue wall.”
Trump won the Badger State by less than a point in 2016, marking the first time it went to a Republican since the 1980s, but President Biden flipped it back into Democrats’ column with a similarly slim margin in 2020. Heading into Election Day, Trump and Harris were less than a point apart in Decision Desk HQ and The Hill’s polling averages.
Wisconsin is among a handful of key battlegrounds that will determine who wins the Oval Office. Along with Michigan and Pennsylvania, it’s one of a group of Midwestern states that flipped to Trump in 2016 and back to Democrats in 2020, making up an important path to victory for Harris in 2024.
Both Trump and Harris have made multiple stops in the state, working to rev up their respective bases and reach voters in the middle. Turnout on Wisconsin’s first day of in-person, early voting this cycle surpassed the level seen on the same day in the 2020 election.
Wisconsin is also the site of a key toss-up Senate race, as incumbent Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D) faces a Trump-backed Republican challenger, which could help decide whether Democrats hold on to their upper chamber majority.
