From the mid-1940s to 1984, Wisconsin tended to favor Republicans. But Democrats won the seven elections from 1988 through 2012, though the 2000 and 2004 races were by razor-thin margins. Former President Donald Trump Trump broke that streak in 2016 when he won the state over Democrat Hillary Clinton by 0.7 percent. He cinched victory despite the fact that not a single one of the dozens of polls taken in the months leading up to the election favored him. Democrats took Wisconsin back in 2020 with President Joe Biden winning by 0.7 percent.
Wisconsin’s importance in the election was underscored by Republicans choosing Milwaukee for their nominating convention in July. The Badger State was also the site of Vice President Kamala Harris’ first top-of-the-ticket rally.
