Wisconsin could be kingmaker in next election too

Wisconsin did it in 2016 and 2020. Will it again in 2024? Many national experts are predicting that in the next presidential election, Wisconsin could be what is known as the “tipping point” state. That would make Wisconsin the state that puts the nominee over the top in electoral votes. In 2016, Wisconsin pushed Donald Trump over the finish line, and did the same for Joe Biden in 2020. Experts suggest Wisconsin is likely to be the state that provides the 270^th electoral vote again next year. Why Wisconsin? It’s mix of urban, rural and suburban voters, which hasn’t changed all that much over the years. Madison and Milwaukee remain firmly democratic, while other parts of the state have gotten redder. All this means a lot of attention will be paid to Wisconsin. We will hear and see more of the candidate’s ads, and get more rallies and visits. This election will be right in Wisconsin’s face. It begins later this month with the first Republican debate in Milwaukee. Wisconsin will be front and center in the national political microscope. After all this time serving as the presidential tipping point, Wisconsin deserves a break. Let Georgia or Arizona be the kingmaker in the next election.
