A Photographic Look at 2024 Campaign Rallies in Wisconsin

Frederica Freyberg:
The saying is a picture is worth a thousand words. Both candidates have been campaigning across Wisconsin seemingly nonstop since the party conventions. Reporter Murv Seymour has been on the campaign trail for much of it, with his still camera capturing snapshots and sounds in the race to win Wisconsin.

Kamala Harris:
Good evening, Wisconsin.

Donald Trump:
We’re going to defeat Kamala Harris.

Kamala Harris:
And it’s great to be back in Madison.

Derrick Van Orden:
Ladies and gentlemen, the one man that’s going to save this country. President Donald J. Trump.

Lee Greenwood (singing):
Glad to be an American where at least I know I’m free and I won’t forget the men who died who gave that right to me.

Donald Trump:
Hello, Wisconsin. It’s great to be back in this beautiful state with thousands of hard working, great American patriots. We appreciate it. Outside, we have thousands and thousands of people. Would anybody love to give up their seat?

Ben Wikler:
Are you ready to organize? Are you ready to work? Are you ready to fight? And are you ready to win?

Mark Pocan:
Are we going to make Kamala Harris and Tim Walz our next president and vice president?

Beyonce (singing):
Freedom, freedom. I can’t move. Freedom, cut me loose. Freedom, freedom. Where are you? Cause I need freedom, too.

Kamala Harris:
When I was five years old, we lived in Wisconsin. Now, every time I land, Governor Evers will meet me and he’ll say, “Welcome home.”

Tommy Thompson:
The Republican Party is back. Donald Trump’s going to win, and we’re taking our country back, and we’re going to make it great again. Once again, ladies and gentlemen, once again.

Crowd:
We’re not going back. We’re not going back. We’re not going back.

Kamala Harris:
We’re not going back. And the reason Wisconsin is because we know this election is about two very different visions for our country.

Donald Trump:
Our country is being destroyed. This is the worst president and the worst vice president in history. You got to get out and vote.

Kamala Harris:
Your vote is your voice, and your voice is your power. And never let anyone take your power from you.

Donald Trump:
If we win and when we win, we’re going to prosecute people that cheat on this election. The easiest way and the best way is on November 5th, you got to vote for Trump because we’re not going to let it happen.

Kamala Harris:
Donald Trump is an unserious man, but the consequences of him being president again are brutally serious.

Donald Trump:
Small towns in America are terrified of migrants coming in, and even when they haven’t yet arrived, they’re terrified. These people that are coming across the border illegally by the millions are taking the jobs of the Black population of America and the Hispanic population of America.

Kamala Harris:
Someone who suggests we should terminate the Constitution of the United States should never again stand behind the seal of the president of the United States.

Donald Trump:
If I win, we will have peace in the world again. If she gets four more years, the world goes up in smoke.

Kamala Harris:
So, Madison, today I ask you, are you ready to make your voices heard?

Donald Trump:
And we will make America great again. Thank you very much, Wisconsin. Thank you very much. Thank you.
