GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar and Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin campaigned on behalf of democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Sunday.
“Joe Biden has compassion, he has empathy, he’s been through a lot in his life,” Klobuchar said. “He can relate to people and I think that helps him to be a better president.”
The First Lady was in Wisconsin this weekend too.
“He’s a president with proven results,” Melania Trump said. “Not empty words and broken promises.”
Both sides are trading shots with less than 24 hours until election day.
“We just need someone that’s going to wake up every morning and think okay, what are those numbers in Wisconsin right now for coronavirus, what does the economy look like,” Klobuchar said. “Instead of sending out mean tweets.”
“I watch Donald continue to work hard to keep people informed and calm, to protect our economy, and to make hard and unpopular decision to do all he could to keep us all safe,” Trump said.
“The Trump administration has failed us, they didn’t tell us the truth, it didn’t get the testing out,” Klobuchar said.
“Now they are saying we didn’t do enough, our actions say otherwise,” Trump said.
The pandemic looms large over the election, as case numbers and hospitalizations are rising across the country.
“Joe Biden believes in science and will follow public health guidance, as you see in the difference between the style of campaigning between the two campaigns,” Baldwin said.
“I believe in our incredible doctors, nurses, medical professionals and scientists,” Trump said. “And I believe that we will overcome this invisible enemy.”
Around 2.5 million votes are already in in Wisconsin, but both sides want more turnout.
“Call your family, catch up with them, and then ask about their plan to vote,” Baldwin said. “And if they haven’t voted yet, call them again tomorrow, and then call them again on Tuesday.”
“On Tuesday the direction our country will take is in your hands,” Trump said.
Polling places will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Wisconsin went to Donald Trump in the 2016 election by less than 1% of the vote.
In 2016, about 2.8 million Wisconsinites voted, so it appears the state is poised to surpass that number on Tuesday.
