Southeastern Wisconsin is election battleground within a battleground

[RandySF]

As both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump zero in on Wisconsin ahead of November’s presidential election, a sort of battleground within a battleground has emerged: southeastern Wisconsin.

Biden and Trump have frequented the region — both in 2024 and during their respective time in the White House. So far this year, Biden has held events in Milwaukee and Mount Pleasant, where he announced that a $3.3 billion Microsoft data center would be built. Trump has campaigned in Waukesha and will be in the area once again with a campaign stop in Racine on Tuesday.

Democrats and Republicans alike agree the region could be determinative in awarding Wisconsin’s 10 Electoral College votes in November.

“This election in Wisconsin runs through Milwaukee County and through southeastern Wisconsin,” Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, a Democrat and Biden ally, told Wisconsin Watch in an interview.

1. The community of Mount Horeb west of Madison is where Speaker Vos is from.

I notice a few pride flags outside businesses.

The blue area of Madison (Dane County) could be expanding into neighboring counties.

As for SE Wisconsin, between Milwaukee southern suburbs and northern Illinois, this is the area of the article. Not enough data for me to analyze.
