Former President Donald Trump has defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in Wisconsin, NBC News projects, denying Democrats a vital segment of their “blue wall” of Northern states to claim victory in the presidential race.
Polling in the lead-up to Election Day had showed Harris and Trump locked in a tight race within the margin of error in Wisconsin, similar to other battleground states.
Harris and Trump campaigned feverishly for months in Wisconsin, regularly crisscrossing the state and advertising heavily.
She was joined by former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., whose father was Republican President George W. Bush’s vice president.
Trump's two Wisconsin wins are the only ones for Republicans at the presidential level since 1984.
