The landscape, a picture postcard of rural America, cornfields and farmhouses.
00:07
But don't be fooled by the image of bucolic tranquility.
00:11
Here in Wisconsin, an electoral battle is raging.
00:14
Don't let them get out when we walk in.
00:18
These three farmers were happy to see Kamala Harris enter the race.
00:22
Nobody in the U.S. is very happy to have two 80-year-old guys running for president, to
00:26
actually switch one out and have a real viable candidate that, you know, looks like they
00:30
want to actually lead the country and is looking forward to the future.
00:32
I just wasn't sure if I would be for, at the time, Biden or if I would be independent.
00:37
Probably more leaning towards voting Democrat.
00:40
In 2020, Joe Biden won Wisconsin by just over 20,000 votes.
00:45
This volunteer is now canvassing her town several times a week to try and convince the
00:49

00:52
Hi, I'm Elizabeth McDonald.
00:54
I'm a volunteer for the Democratic Party.
00:56
How are you feeling about Kamala?
00:59
Her strategy, to take the campaign directly into voters' homes as often as possible.
01:05
This afternoon, she's with a knitting circle.
01:09
I'm just doing some canvassing for Kamala.
01:12
So how are you all feeling about this?
01:16
I wasn't excited about his position in the Israel-Palestine war, so I wasn't really sure
01:23
if I was going to vote. No, I think I will.
01:25
Yeah.
01:27
Once a solidly Democratic state, today, a significant percentage of Wisconsin's voters
01:32
identify as independent.
01:34
It's 10 electoral votes making it a crucial battleground in the race for the White House.
