While Illinois hasn't been in play for decades, nearby states Wisconsin and Michigan are must-wins for Democrats, which is why the Harris and Walz ticket will be spending time and money in the Midwest.

DARLENE SUPERVILLE, JOEY CAPPELLETTI and SEUNG MIN KIMMidwest battleground states are important for the 2024 presidential election , so Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are campaigning in Wisconsin and Michigan .While Illinois hasn't been in play to impact a presidential election for decades, nearby states Wisconsin and Michigan are must wins for Democrats, which is why the Harris and Walz ticket will be spending time and money in the Midwest.

Harris and Walz played up their support for organized labor at a Detroit-area union hall on Thursday, with the Democratic nominee saying "we're all in this together" as the new ticket lavishes attention on a crucial base of support. Harris and Walz have been highlighting their support for working people during their first joint appearances this week in some of the most closely contested states that will help decide whether she becomes the first female U.S. president or whether Republican Donald Trump returns to the White House and brings along Sen. JD Vance of Ohio as his vice president.

On Thursday, Fain welcomed the ticket to "labor's house" and rallied the union crowd by exclaiming: "Kamala Harris is one of us. Gov. Tim Walz is one of us" and praising their pro-labor records. As Harris spoke to an estimated 15,000-person crowd at the airport, she was interrupted by protesters opposed to Israel's war in Gaza with Hamas. At first, Harris said to those trying to disrupt her, "I am here because I believe in democracy, and everybody's voice matters."
