In Wisconsin last night, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump held dueling rallies just five miles apart.

The state's one of this falls critical battlegrounds. Trump won it eight years ago after it had gone for Democratic candidates for 28 years.

In 2020, President Biden narrowly won it back.

This year, it could help determine which party controls the White House,

the House, and the Senate. Zach Schultz of PBS, Wisconsin, covers politics in the state.

Zach, in the last four of the last six elections, the margin of victory has been less than one

percentage point. Are there signs that could be that close again?

Absolutely. All the signs point to that close of an election this time around once again. Frankly, unless Barack Obama's on the

ticket, Wisconsin is going to be a very close election. Barack Obama's been in the state

campaigning for Kamala Harris, but all the polls show just within the margin of error consistently

for quite a while now. And when you go out in the field and you talk to people, they are

evenly split. And in communities across the state, people are really getting down to that nitty

of like, which candidate do I support? Am I still a Republican? Do I support the Democrats? Where do I

fall in this?

And they are getting inundated with ads and mailers and flyers and calls all the way up until Tuesday.

Given all that, what's each candidate's path to victory? Where do they have to do well in order to win?

Well, the interesting thing about Wisconsin is when you're talking about a margin of 20,000 or 23,000 votes, which was in 2020, out of 3.3 million, every place matters. There's not a single place that you can leave unturned at this point, which is why, I mean, I think J.D. Vance is in lacrosse and western Wisconsin today. You saw Trump and Harris in the Milwaukee area yet again.

This week, Trump was in Green Bay with former Packer Hall of Famer Brett Farr of stumping for him.

They have been everywhere across the state. So you can obviously, most of the population is in southeast

Wisconsin. So that really can swing it depending on some of these turnout margins. But

Trump has always done well in

northern and western Wisconsin and the more whiter rural areas. So they are looking everywhere.
