0:00.0 | Brian Miller on WNYC, now with less than a month before election day and voting has already started in so many places. |
0:18.3 | I know New Yorkers got their absentee ballots in the mail already and |
0:23.5 | could be voting and mailing them in as a few days ago. So we'll continue with our Monday morning |
0:29.1 | politics series covering each of the key swing states. We've been lasering on these battleground |
0:34.0 | states one by one as now more than ever. It's a relative few voters in a few |
0:40.4 | consequential counties that'll likely be the ultimate deciders of our election. We did Michigan |
0:46.6 | last week. Today we'll look at Wisconsin, which Biden ultimately won in 2020 by a slim margin of |
0:52.8 | just 0.63 percent, about two-thirds of one percent of the |
0:58.8 | vote. In 2016, Donald Trump took America's dairy land, as they sometimes call it, by only |

1:29.5 | she was joined by Liz Cheney in Ripon, Wisconsin, known to some as the birthplace of the Republican |
1:35.8 | party. Both the former Republican representative of Wyoming and her father, that is, Liz Cheney and |
1:43.2 | Dick Cheney, George W. Bush's vice president, |
1:46.0 | have now split with their party and endorsed Harris on her quest to become the next president. |
1:51.3 | But Liz Cheney has gone the extra mile by speaking on the campaign trail. |
1:56.0 | So in the context of Wisconsin, here's an excerpt from her speech in Rippin last Thursday. |
2:01.9 | I am a Ronald Reagan conservative. I believe in limited government. I believe in low taxes. |
