Summary

Wisconsin remains one of the pivotal swing states anticipated to play a decisive role in the 2024 presidential election. With its ten electoral votes up for grabs, both campaigns have spent much time there in the closing weeks. The Badger State is also considered part of the Democrats’ 'blue wall,' so losing it could be a significant blow to Vice President Kamala Harris. Earlier this week, FOX 6 Milwaukee political reporter Jason Calvi joined host Dave Anthony to discuss the Wisconsin race and what issues, demographics, and regions could potentially determine the winner. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with FOX 6 Milwaukee political reporter Jason Calvi and help learn about the critical battleground state of Wisconsin.
