In wide-ranging speech, Bill Clinton aims to energize Black voters in Milwaukee
In a visit to Milwaukee Thursday evening, former President Bill Clinton made the case that Kamala Harris' plans for America would leave people better off than Donald Trump's policies would.
Clinton's speech was wide-ranging, from job growth and infrastructure funding under President Joe Biden, to gas and insulin prices, to mentions of former U.S. Sen. Joe McCarthy, who represented Wisconsin from 1947-57, and the Los Angeles Dodgers' World Series win Wednesday.
Speaking to a few hundred mostly Black supporters, including pastors and members of local Black churches, the popular Democrat said his goal for the evening was to "explain things to people" rather than give a conventional stump speech. And especially as Black voters' enthusiasm for Harris has been uncertain, the hope was Clinton could energize the faith community to turn out to vote in a must-win swing state.
"The future of the country is on the line, and it may be decided in Wisconsin," Clinton told the crowd.
