Topics
主持人:威斯康星州和宾夕法尼亚州的选情非常胶着,民调显示双方支持率不相上下。威斯康星州过去几次总统选举的结果都非常接近,因此本次选举结果难以预测。特朗普和哈里斯分别在该州的不同地区举行集会,试图争取选民的支持。麦迪逊是威斯康星州的民主党票仓,而格林贝及其周边地区则是共和党票仓。环绕密尔沃基的几个县的投票结果可能决定最终的选举结果。 Jason Calvi:威斯康星州的提前投票人数创下纪录,共和党鼓励支持者提前投票。关于波多黎各和密尔沃基的争议可能不会影响威斯康星州的选举结果,但仍有1%的选民尚未决定投票给谁。威斯康星州的计票可能需要很长时间,因为需要处理大量的缺席选票。 Dave McCormick:宾夕法尼亚州的参议员选举是变革与现状之间的选择。哈里斯的自由主义议程在宾夕法尼亚州不受欢迎。他的竞选与特朗普的竞选密切相关,但他需要争取独立人士和温和派的支持。他对宾夕法尼亚州的选举安全表示担忧,并表示他的竞选团队将采取措施确保选举公平。他认为拜登将特朗普支持者称为“垃圾”是对半数人口的不尊重,并认为两党都应该避免煽动性言论。他支持特朗普的贸易政策,认为应该优先发展国内产业并实行互惠原则。 Jimmy Failla:拜登称特朗普支持者为“垃圾”的言论引发争议,民主党人长期以来一直对保守派采取居高临下的态度。

Wisconsin has ten electoral votes up for grabs, and both candidates campaigned there on Wednesday to drum up last-minute support. The Badger State is part of the 'blue wall,' which Vice President Kamala Harris is eager to win. FOX 6 Milwaukee political reporter Jason Calvi joins to break down what he sees on the ground and emphasize what the candidates need to do in their final days.
