Biden’s campaign in Wisconsin has focused on connecting with minority voters and utilizes an extensive campaign infrastructure in contrast to what they describe as Donald Trump’s lack of presence in the state. The campaign manager for Wisconsin emphasized the commitment to meeting voters and earning their support through various outreach efforts, including appearances on local radio shows.
In response, former President Trump did not definitively agree to accept the election results if he were to lose, stating that he would accept them if everything was honest. He also expressed no regrets about challenging the 2020 election results and encouraged people to “follow your heart” when it comes to addressing election concerns.
Overall, Biden’s visit to Racine highlighted the growing tensions between the two political parties and their approaches to engaging voters. The campaigns are ramping up efforts to sway minority voters, with Biden’s team utilizing various outreach strategies and Trump defending his actions in the 2020 election. The rhetoric from both sides reflects a deeply divided political landscape in the lead-up to the general election.
