of questions about a battleground state like wisconsin like why is wisconsin a battleground. why has it been a battleground for so long. why has it continued over many years and political cycles to be basically a 50-50 state despite huge changes in our and despite dramatic changes within wisconsin. the regional politics of wisconsin. voting patterns and trends. somehow these things have in a partisan wash and wisconsin is a very different state than it was 20 years ago politically it's kind of the same state with respect to its status as a very purple battleground. so another question i find myself asking often about the state is are we a microcosm politically of the nation or are we in outlier? certainly the fact that we are so evenly divided, wisconsin was the tipping point state in both 2016 and 2020 which means it was in the exact center of the electoral college. it was the state that mathematically put the winning candidate, one from each party in each of those elections into an electoral majority of 270. it makes us think of wisconsin is a microcosm of the competitive n

of state like wisconsin. why is wisconsin a battleground? why has it been a battleground for so long? why has it continued over many, many, many years in political cycles to be a basically 50/50 states despite huge changes international policy. despite dramatic changes within wisconsin and the regional politics, voting trends that i'm going to talk about. somehow these things have kinda been a part of the wash. wisconsin is a very different state than it was. as a very purple battleground. another question often about the state are we a microcosm politically of the nation or are we an outlier. certainly the fact we are so evenly divided wisconsin with a tipping point state with 2016 and 2020. the exact center of the electoral college. it was a state that mathematically put the winning candidate. one from each party each of those elections. into a electoral majority of 278. and so it makes us think of wisconsin is a microcosm of a very competitive nation. it is certainly a microcosm of very polarized nation. t

i'm across wisconsin together. well, i know we have maybe one or two kennedy stories, but we want to share a quick moment. i want to make sure there's time for that. note. i want to share now. people are thinking, well, please tell me afterward if you do, because i love to hear those stories. yes. one last question. yes. having been a child in what became sort of a kennedy campaign. yeah. a dormitory gave me my parents home. my father was packed. so we lived in madison hills and and with us throughout much of the campaign was a prep school classmate of kennedy named lloyd billings, who was one of one of the kennedy friends who took whatever task assigned to him. and one one note we had bobby kennedy sleeping with. and so i would i would always say it's five, seven, eight year old kid in those years beginning up early, for example, to see william proxmire make morning breakfast of a raw egg, sugar, egg, throwing it straight down and make one for me. but also to get up. also see bobby kennedy dressed. i learned to tr

because here is the thing we all hear wisconsin no.middle class is strong, america is strong. but donald trump was to take our country backwards. this is extreme project 2025 agenda will weaken the middle-class week net we've got to take this thursday can you believe that put that in writing? read it, but here's the thing, when he read it you will see donald trump intends to cut social security and medicare. tends to give tax breaks to billionaires and working families but the build. the tentative and the affordable care act. and take as a back to a time when insurance companies had the ability to deny people with pre-existing conditions. remember what that was like? children with asthma, women who survived breast cancer. grandparents with diabetes. americas tried these failed economic policies before we are not going back we are not going back. not going back. it not going back. quick so play it why we were not going back because ours is a fight for the future. and it is a fight for freedom. generations of american, we have to remembe

in wisconsin, in particular we have a lot of industry that is dependent on immigration. >> wisconsins in about 5500 migrant workers each year for farm labor. but other estimates suggest undocumented illegal workers on farms could be much higher. >> we estimate about 70% or more of the labor force on wisconsin dairy farms are undocumented. and this is a huge issue as dairy farms are struggling to stay in existence and that way of life is trying to survive. >> bret: so that's a big part of it. is it difficult to find out how many illegal or undocumented workers are in wisconsin? >> any statistic in immigration is really just a guess. sometimes an educated guess. >> i'm not interested in playing politics with the border or immigration. i'm interested in fixing it. >> bret: president biden has proposed a plan that would give the estimated 10.5 million undocumented immigrants already in the u.s. a pathway to citizenship. >> if the millions of biden migrants became citizens, medicare and social security will be gone. they will be gone. they will be gone. the. >> former president's immigrat

[applause] by the way, if you are wondering whether trump has it altogether, did you hear how he explained the fourth of july? serious. how america won the revolutionary war? i'm not making this up. he said in his fourth of july speech five years ago, george washington's army won by taking control of the air force from the british. talk about me misspeaking. the air force and the british in 1776.

in wisconsin? >> wisconsin my home state is very much a state that includes a lot of individuals with own firearms and for many different reasons. whether it's you've got 40 acres in the back for the nine days during the gun season you dear hunt which goes back generation after generation or you are part of a gun club where they do regulate -- regular target shooting or possibly personal protections are there a lot of different reasons that people have and are gun owners in the state of wisconsin but the one thing i would say it's never been something that has really garnered a concern and the reason for that is i think because there are so many irresponsible in done owners in wisconsin for doesn't mean we don't have our own incidents that doesn't mean there aren't certain parts of the state that are him a lot of concern overall it's part of our history and part of our state constitution. it's very much a part of the constitutional amendment that protects the ability for sportsmen to hunt in wiscon

this might be a close election in wisconsin, 21,000 votes the last two times two win wisconsin, maybe instead of my intention to vote for the green party candidate or libertarian, i think i better vote to help either the republican or democratic party win. this is a classic dilemma and paradox for voters at the last minute about whether to vote for one of the two major parties were a third already. host mordercai lee, he has been our guest from milwaukee and republican national convention. very much appreciate your time, sir. guest: thank you. host: we have a half-hour left in this morning's "washington journal." donald trump will accept his party's nomination for president tonight in his first speech since the shooting last saturday in butler, pennsylvania. i will put the numbers up on the screen. we want to hear your views about politics and campaign 2024. as you well know, there's a lot going on in the world. (202) 748-8000 for democrats. (202) 748-8001 for republicans. independents, (202) 748-8002. go ahead and start dialing in. we will get to those calls in just a minute. >> disc

we will look at wisconsin now once again. we are waiting for president biden to come out in madison as the life picture shows he will be coming out to talk to supporters and hopefully just be candid and frank and unscripted. i think that's what the american people really want to see is they want to see the real joe biden. who is the real joe biden? please stand up i hate to sound like a rapper but that's what people need to see. they need to see the true man that leads this country sitting in the oval office right now. >> alicia: yes and that conversation you just had with congresswoman dingell was fantastic because this is a delicate time. it's a very uncomfortable moment for democrats. they are asking us to look at the past three and a half years. so what they are asking us to do is look at the pass as the american people way whether or not to bet on the future for a man who, as she said, we are hearing rumors however we are not hearing rumors all coming from the same place. there is a vast majority of democrats out there t

i am in wisconsin for 1 reason because we are going to win wisconsin.in it. [ cheering and applause ] let me tell you how you're going to do it. you know the reason. we'll do it because of you in the room to start with but stand up for women in america. we are going to restore roe v. wade. the law of the land. stand up for the right to vote again. fight for medicare and social security and childcare, eldercare. keep lowering the cost of drugs and expanding healthcare for everyone. we are going to protect her children from getting weapons of war off our streets. that's what we are going to do. the idea that more children die from gunshot wounds in america is so wrong. it's sick. it really is sick. we will keep confronting climate change. the most important is we are going to save our democracy. you probably heard had a little debate last week. can't say it was my best performance but ever since then there's been a lot of speculation. what's joe going to? see going to stay in the race, dropout. what's he going to do. here's my answer. i am running on goin

wisconsin is an incredibly critical state and has been the past 15 years. the current political climate how would you characterize the importance of the amendment and importance of personal safety and security to the voters herein wisconsin? >> as you know, wisconsin my home state is very much a state that includes a lot of individuals that own firearms and for many different reasons. whether it's you've got 40 acres in the back were for the nine days goes back generation aftern generation or your part of a club where they do regular target shooting or possibly personal protection so there's a lot of different reasons that people have in the state of wisconsin. the one thing i would say, and it's never been something that has really garnered a concern statewide and the reason for that i think is because there are so many very responsible gun owners inn wisconsin. doesn't mean we don't have our own incidents and there aren't certain parts of the states that there is a lot of concern. but overall, it's part of our history. it's part of our state constitution.

wisconsin. >> her first campaign event since becoming the presumptive democratic presidential nominee after president biden stepped aside? >> no today's rally in the battleground, state of wisconsin is capping a whirlwind 48 hours where harris secured enough delegates to lock up the nomination, and then just in the last hour, she got the endorsements of the top two democrats on capitol hill is senate majority leader chuck schumer, and house minority leader hakeem jeffries put their full support behind harris, the vice president's rally is happening as president biden is returning to the white house. these are pictures from just moments ago and do the first images that we've seen of the president since he went into isolation with covid-19 just a week ago, he is headed back to the white house and tomorrow that's it's where he will address the nation from on his decision to drop his reelection bid and endorsed his vice president for the nomination. we have cnn's eva mckend, who is at the harris cam

my boss who works with wisconsin watch is working with the wisconsin state journal and got instant and this idea of bringing a spate -- a state specific media area to a big national convention. there was some initial interest from the dnc and the pandemic hit and everything changed and the world was turned upside down. when republicans announced they were going to do the convention in milwaukee, the conversations picked up. it happened behind the scenes. we had some great partners setting this up for us and we were able to make it official back in the spring and here we are now with 25 news organizations from all over the state of wisconsin. we wanted this to be for whoever wanted to participate. it was very affordable for news organizations to get a spot here, and it was open to any wisconsin media organization that wanted to be involved stop we have done a lot of outreach and coordination in the months leading up to the convention. a lot of email chains, and eventually we settled on the 2020 -- only 25 news organizations -- on the 25 news organizations. it is kind of cool, a little p

in wisconsin.. hello there. the weather through the rest of the week is looking a little bit mixed, but today, there was some warm sunshine for most of us. some of the best weather was to be found in western parts of scotland. lovely weather watcher picture that. and also across northern ireland, where we had blue skies through much of the day. but these areas may not do quite so well in the next few days. there is more cloud coming in from the atlantic that will push its way steadily eastwards — maybe bring a little rain. ahead of that though, arriving, any showers that are formed across eastern areas won't last long at all, and the cloud will come and go a bit overnight. it should be dry overnight, the winds will be light, and those temperatures by the end of the night, typically 11 or 12 degrees. now there is more cloud coming in from the atlantic tomorrow. there will be some sunshine at times, could be a little bit hazy, mind you, and across some eastern areas we may well find one or two shower

look at madison, wisconsin. baldwin refusing to show up with the president, she has done that time and again. we have democrats petrified president biden is leading the top of the ticket and hakeem jeffries calling a meeting on sunday before congress comes back to work to make sure they don't have more defections. in the coming weeks you will see democrats running away from their own record, it is driving inflation higher. they don't want to talk about the open border policies that is causing chaos not just in border states but communities across the home state of wisconsin. what we will see is democrats trying to jump ship and the leadership of the democratic party circling the wagons. joey: we will see if we see strength out of the minority leader. thank you so much for joining us today. i'm going to toss it to lisa. lisa: turning to your headlines the family of an american teenager who got off a caribbean princess cruise ship was lured away by a stranger. aidan brown was last seen leaving the ship alone on in

of distance et cetera but wisconsin has a great chance wisconsin is going to go for donald j trump, okay? minnesota has a great chance but the reason wisconsin will go for donald j trump is because with this judgment built a party, built an apparatus built a structure that to this date will carry donald j trump into the white house ladies and gentlemen the front scott walker.

[ cheering and applause ] you've got a former governor, jim doyle, mayor of this city. look, we got a guy who has a tough time winning the election, only gets 70% of the vote, congressman mark pokan, and so many local leaders, the chair of the democratic national party, ben winkler. folks did you have a good fourth of july? by the way, if you wonder whether trump has it all together, did you ever hear how he explained the fourth of july when he was president? no, i'm serious, this is true. his explanation of how america won the revolutionary war, i'm not making this up. he said in his fourth of july speech five years ago, he said, george washington's army won the revolution by taking control of the airports from

do wisconsin voters understand that?s need to change if you want america to change. >> i think they do. when i'm out there campaigning, i'm talking to people all the time. it's amazing the ship we see with younger people. i've heard stories of the people saying i'm working two jobs working at the time and still live with my parents. the black community a lot, they are upset about our open borders and the crime problems. hispanic community like everybody else are getting hammered by inflation and some of the social policies the left has pushed via defund police. all these issues are mattering to the people of wisconsin so the polls i think are wrong and why do i say that? if you look at where president trump was before the 16 hand 20 election he was down five to six points in both cases and in one case he won and the other he lost by the hair. let me just quickly -- we got to wrap the quickly talk about your race, the incumbency has a lot of power whether it's the president's incumbency for the woman you are running again

as trump said when he was in wisconsin, if we win wisconsin, we win this whole thing and this is thes one way or the another and it's the land of the nailbiter. they have come within one percentage point margins across the state. this means that everything can tip the state which then tips the country and they are here to bamboozle wisconsin and democrats across the state are knocking on doors and organizing to make sure the truth gets out about the agenda and what it is that trump and jd vance want to do to those in wisconsin and the freedoms they want to rip away if they get back. >> how would you characterize the state of the fight in wisconsin and how are democrats doing and how have you been doing in recent elections. how are things looking in terms of things like organizing and voter registration? how to the polls look between the presidential candidates in wisconsin? >> wisconsin is almost perfectly evenly split and there are outlier poles that go in either direction if you look at the aggregators. it is within a few points here at the moment and the thing that is striking tha

trump said when he was in wisconsin, we win wisconsin, we win this whole thing. presidential elections one way or the other. the land of the nail biter for the last six presidential elections here have come down to less than one percentage point margins. two or three votes per ward across the state. that means everything can tip the entire state which then tips the entire country. they are here to try to bamboozle wisconsin and democrats across our state are mobilized knocking on doors organizing to make sure the truth gets out about the project 2025 agenda and what it is that trump and vance want to do to wisconsinites and the freedoms they want to rip away if they get back into the oval office. >> how would you characterize the state of the fight in wisconsin? how are democrats doing? how have you been doing in recent elections? how are things looking for you in terms of things like organizing and voter registration. how do the polls look? >> wisconsin true to form is almost perfectly evenly split. there are outlier polls that go in either direction. if you loo

the su wisconsin. i am told as of this morning that we have earned the support of the mess delegates to say the very 100 and i read to you. i will spend the coming weeks continuing to unite our party so that we are ready to win in november. so we have 105 days until election day. and in that time we've got some work to do . but we're not afraid of hard work. we like hard work, don't wait and we, we. 6 when busy likes in the same way, i told you before i was elected vice president. before i was like the united states senator, i was elected attorney general of the state of california, and i was a court room prosecutor before them the end of those rolls. i took on perpetrators of all kinds creditors abused women, fraudsters, ripped off consumers. cheaters broke the rules for their own game. so hear me when i say, i know donald trump, the campaign i promise you. i will proudly put my record against his any day of the week, the journey joining california to one of our country's largest for profit colleges t

kelly, quite an appearance today in wisconsin. the energy in that room, we're told by far the largest crowd for a campaign event this cycle. probably last cycle as well for the democrats and that the mood was just different. >> reporter: certainly a page has been turn and some energy has been unleashed in the democratic party and they are seeing that and one of the challenges will be to harness it to build on it and move forward in the remaining months of the campaign. there is no question, there is new infusion of excitement among democrats. and when president biden was running, they weren't looking to build big crowds. they were looking for a different style of event, that played better to his strengths. kamala harris is a new candidate. she is in a different position. she has a different argument to make and we've now heard what is the initial phase ever a stump speech where she takes us through her own journey and she pays respect to the president who put her in this role to begin with and has endorsed her going forward. and s

he just landed in wisconsin where he is set to speak at a campaign rally wisconsin is one of a handful of must-win states for both candidates. and one of the states were forecast or say biden has work to do to win over skeptical voters? this is a hugely consequential day for president biden. we're going to take the president of live as soon as he speaks. while president biden hits the trail, donald trump is keeping a relatively low profile with no campaign events today. but behind the scenes, we're told his campaign has been making calls, digging for clues, hoping to figure out the next step. epps should biden, ultimately decide to step aside cnn, steve contorno has all of these new details. so steve, what is the trump campaign hoping will happen is biden stain on the top of the ticket, better or worse for them? >> certainly there are people around the former president who believed that the path to election is much easier if joe biden remains on the ticket especially after last thursday night's debate, performance. however, they are starting to take steps to prepare four with the unkno

children in wisconsin? in wisconsin. we are reliant on the child care industry itself, making sure that if people want to go to work, that they have somebody to take care of their kids. we've been working for that for a long time here in wisconsin and at the federal level, whatever they can do to make sure that child care -- it is so important for our little kids to be able to have that kind of help going forward, but it is also important, you know, somebody has to leave the workforce and we have a low unemployment rate in the state of wisconsin and we can't afford if people want to work they should work and they are working, but in order for them to -- for many of them to do that they have to have high-quality child care. i know it's a federal issue, it's a state issue, too. that's a winner for us. >> governor, al sharpton. as we see this race now coming to what is going to be full swing very shortly after the democratic convention, you are the governor of a state that has to deal with the rural, as well a

trump said recently in wisconsin, we win wisconsin we win this whole thing.his is state that tips presidential elections one way or the other. a nail-biter have come less to 1% the margin, so two or three votes across the entire state. they're here to bamboozle wisconsin and democrats across the state are mobilized and knocking on doors organizing to make sure the truth gets out about the project 2025 agenda and the freedoms they want to rip away if they get back into the oval office. >> ben, how would you characterize basically the state of the fight right now in wisconsin? how are democrats doing? how have you been doing in recent elections? how are things looking for you in terms of voter registration? how do the polls look between presidential candidates right now in wisconsin? >> wisconsin true to form is almost perfectly evenly split. there are outlier polls that go in either direction. if you look at the aggregators it's within a couple of opponents here at the moment. i think inthing so striking while the republican national convention is here, and wh
