On Wednesday, Donald Trump emerged victorious in the pivotal state of Wisconsin, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in an important battleground contest. This victory granted Trump an important 10 Electoral College votes. He had previously won Wisconsin by a narrow margin in 2016, marking a significant achievement as he became the first Republican candidate since Ronald Reagan to secure the state. However, he lost Wisconsin in the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden.

Both Trump and Harris prioritized Wisconsin during their respective campaigns, recognizing its critical role in the electoral process. In the previous election cycle, Trump made various efforts to contest the results of his loss in the state, engaging in a series of lawsuits and requesting recounts, all of which proved unsuccessful. The announcement of Trump’s win was made by news outlets at 5:34 a.m. EST, solidifying his hold on this key battleground region.
