They're going to be here a lot.
>> Steven Potter joins us now from Chicago, where he'll be part of the "Here& Now" political team covering the Democratic National Convention >> Hi, Frederica.
>> So, so how will Wisconsin play a part there at the DNC?
>> So convention officials are still being pretty tight lipped as to who will take the stage at the DNC next week of Wisconsin elected officials.
It could perhaps be Wisconsin governor Tony Evers, or maybe U.S. House of representative member Gwen Moore.
Most likely, however, it would be U.S.
Senator Tammy Baldwin.
your story that we just aired this is going to be kind of a hold on to your hats campaign moving toward November, given how very, very purple we are.
And I would imagine that at the convention, people will be paying a lot of attention to Wisconsin.
But even in the midst of the convention next week, Kamala Harris is reprising her swing state blitz.
>> Yeah, absolutely.
After campaigning this weekend in another battleground state of Pennsylvania, Kamala Harris, and Governor Tim Walz will be traveling to Milwaukee for a rally at Tuesday at the Fiserv forum, which is exactly where the Republican National Convention was held just last month.
This is another example of how significant Wisconsin is to have the Democratic presidential nominee traveling to Wisconsin during the Democratic National Convention.
>> Yeah, I've never, ever heard of that.
We should mention that GOP VP nominee JD Vance spoke in Milwaukee today.
So as you say, Wisconsin super important here.
We will be looking for your reporting next week from the DNC.
Thank you Steve.
