Donald Trump wins Wisconsin in stunning victory over Kamala Harris

S.Brown28 min ago
Donald Trump has won the swing state of Wisconsin in a stunning victory over Kamala Harris.

He took the win in the midwestern 'Blue Wall' state after sweeping in North Carolina , Georgia and Pennsylvania.

His victory in Wisconsin puts him over the 270 Electoral College votes needed to capture the presidency .

The 'Badger State' was regarded as a toss-up in 2024, with neither Donald Trump or Kamala Harris expected to have dibs on the 10 Electoral College votes up for grabs.

According to polling averages, Trump was up nearly three points over Harris in the week leading to the election .

Trump and Harris both spent a good chunk of time in Wisconsin over the last several months.

The ex-president made his first public appearance since being shot in the ear on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania , at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, just two days later.

Speaking at the Republican National Convention, he raised a fist to the crowd, his ear covered in a large white bandage.

The former president has a complicated relationship with Milwaukee after he got backlash for calling it a 'horrible city' the week before the convention.

'Milwaukee, where we are having our convention, is a horrible city,' he told congressional Republicans.

But Trump's relationship with Wisconsin didn't seem to take hit after those comments.

He most recently was rallying in Green Bay, Wisconsin, home of the Packers with legendary quarterback Brett Favre.

He trolled Joe Biden and Kamala Harris by riding a MAGA garbage truck to that rally in response to Biden's comments calling his supporters 'garbage.'

The former president rolled up to reporters on the tarmac in Green Bay, leaning out the window to take questions before his event in the battleground state.

'How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden,' he told the waiting media while wearing an orange workman's vest.

'For Joe Biden to make that statement — it's really a disgrace,' he added before speaking to supporters while Harris addressed her own fans in a different part of the state.

Trump was referring to the comments made by 81-year-old Biden that referred to his supporters as 'garbage.'

He returned to Milwaukee for dueling rallies with Harris just three days ago.

Trump spent his Friday night speaking at an arena in Milwaukee where the NBA's Bucks play – the same venue that hosed the RNC – while Harris was down the road, bringing out special guest Cardi B, who faced an awkward teleprompter mishap.

The Wisconsin Senate race also turned out to be one of the closest-watched in the country.

Democrat incumbent Tammy Baldwin was given a run for her money by Trump-backed Eric Hovde.
