Trump encouraged supporters to vote by mail and early, when the time comes, so they turn out \u201cin record numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wisconsin is perennially tight in presidential elections but has gone for the Republicans just once in the past 40 years, when Trump won the state in 2016. A win in November could make it impossible for Democratic nominee <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/kamala-harris\">Kamala Harris <\/a><\/span> to take the White House. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the political chatter class, they\u2019re worried,\u201d said Brandon Scholz, a retired Republican strategist and longtime political observer in Wisconsin who voted for Trump in 2020 but said he is not voting for Trump or Harris this year. \u201cI think Republicans are right to be concerned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump won the state in 2016 over Democrat Hillary Clinton by fewer than 23,000 votes and lost to Democrat Joe Biden in 2020 by just under 21,000 votes.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Trump made his <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-harris-biden-wisconsin-debate-walz-vance-60307f1fa8530c60a7f7cde721260efc\">first-ever visit<\/a><\/span> to Dane County, home to the liberal capital city of Madison, in an effort to turn out the Republican vote even in the state\u2019s Democratic strongholds. Dane is Wisconsin\u2019s second most-populous and fastest-growing county; Biden received more than 75% of the vote four years ago. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo win statewide you\u2019ve got to have a 72-county strategy,\u201d former Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican, said at that event.<\/p>\n<p>Juneau is a a town of 2,000 about 50 miles north of Madison in Dodge County, which Trump won in 2020 with 65% of the vote. <\/p>\n<p>Early arrivals filled the hangar, far exceeding the available seating. One large banner behind the bleachers inside said \u201cVote Early.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMake sure we turn out because guess what, I\u2019ve been to Madison,\u201d said U.S. Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, who is from Juneau, at the event. \u201cI\u2019ve been to liberal Madison and they\u2019re going to show up. We need to do the same thing because we are the firewall to keep this country independent and free.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jack Yuds, chairman of the county Republican Party, said support for Trump is stronger in this part of the state than it was in 2016 or 2020. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t keep signs in,\u201d Yuds said. \u201cThey want everything he\u2019s got. If it says Trump on it, you can sell it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s campaign and outside groups supporting his candidacy have outspent Harris and her allies on advertising in Wisconsin, $35 million to $31 million, since she became a candidate on July 23, according to the media-tracking firm AdImpact. <\/p>\n<p>Harris and outside groups supporting her candidacy had more advertising time reserved in Wisconsin from Oct. 1 through Nov. 5, more than $25 million compared with $20 million for Trump and his allies.<\/p>\n<p>The Harris campaign has 50 offices across 43 counties with more than 250 staff in Wisconsin, said her spokesperson Timothy White. The Trump campaign said it has 40 offices in the state and dozens of staff.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Infobox\" data-module=\"\" data-gtm-region=\"What to know about the 2024 Election Today's news: Follow live updates from the campaign trail from the AP.

Ron Johnson\u2019s winning reelection campaign in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, look, that\u2019s going to be a very tight \u2014 very, very tight, all the way to the end. But where we are organizationally now, comparative to where we were organizationally four years ago, I mean, it\u2019s completely different,\u201d LaCivita said.<\/p>\n<p>He also cited Michigan as more of a challenge. \u201cBut again, these are states that Biden won and carried and so they\u2019re going to be brawls all the way until the end and we\u2019re not ceding any of that ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The candidates are about even in Wisconsin, based on a series of polls that have shown little movement since Biden dropped out in late July. Those same polls also show high enthusiasm among both parties.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Graul, who ran then-President George W. Bush\u2019s 2004 campaign in Wisconsin, said the number of campaign visits speaks to Wisconsin\u2019s decisive election role.<\/p>\n<p>The key for both sides, he said, is persuading infrequent voters to turn out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMuch more important, in my opinion, than rallies,\u201d Graul said.<\/p>\n<h2>___<\/h2>\n<p>Gomez Licon reported from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
