A quick note about Wisconsin and Milwaukee. I’ve seen a number of panicked messages on social media about how the City of Milwaukee is lagging behind the state as a whole. That is always the case. The goal is to minimize that gap. In 2020 Milwaukee turnout was 16% lower than the state as a whole. Currently it’s at 4.9% less than the state as a whole. If (and this is a huge, giant if) that were to hold, we’re looking at an Obama style election in Wisconsin. That’s the last time Milwaukee’s turnout was that close to the state.

If Milwaukee can keep it within 10 points of the state as a whole I will consider that a huge win. Obviously this is not to say it’s in the bag, but to say, don’t panic about Milwaukee lagging behind.
