2020 Countdown: Wisconsin

Since 1992, Wisconsin had been identified by political strategists as part of the “Blue Wall,” a section of the American electorate comprising of roughly 240 electoral votes that have reliably voted for Democrats from 1992 to 2012. In 2016, however, Donald Trump shocked Hillary Clinton by winning the state. So the question now is, can he do it again?

Wisconsin has traditionally been thought of as place with an economy rooted in a rich dairy industry, producing over a quarter of America’s cheese, a giant beer brewer, and the home of many manufacturing jobs. But, in recent months, the words, Kenosha, Jacob Blake, and Kyle Rittenhouse have overshadowed its proud reputation.
