Harris heads to Wisconsin for first rally as presumptive nominee after raising $100M

Vice President Harris will head to Wisconsin on Tuesday for her first rally since securing enough delegates to become the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, where she will lay out the case against former President Trump and tout a massive fundraising haul.

Harris will hold a rally in Milwaukee, making the site of last week's Republican National Convention her first campaign stop of her presidential bid. It will mark her fifth visit this year to Wisconsin, likely a must-win state if she is to win the White House in November.

The vice president will arrive in the Badger State with momentum on her side. Her campaign raised more than $100 million between Sunday afternoon, when President Biden said he would not seek reelection, and Monday evening. More than 1.1 million individual donors contributed to the campaign.

A host of Wisconsin officials will join Harris for Tuesday's event, including Gov. Tony Evers (D), Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D), Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez (D), Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson (D) and Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler, among others.

Each of those officials have endorsed Harris, including Baldwin, who is facing a tough reelection fight in November.

The Harris campaign touted it has 48 field offices across the state with roughly 160 full-time staffers on the ground trying to reach voters.

Harris on Monday gave a preview of how she intends to frame the race against Trump during remarks at campaign headquarters in Delaware. She compared her background as a prosecutor with Trump's host of legal troubles, and she highlighted her support for abortion access, gun safety laws and voting rights.

“Over the next few months, I will be traveling across the country talking to Americans about everything that is on the line," Harris said in a statement after clinching the nomination. "I fully intend to unite our party, unite our nation, and defeat Donald Trump in November.”
