Wisconsin's role in America's national politics and culture is impossible to ignore. This is the home of Harley-Davidson, a haven of cheese, and the place where the Republican Party was founded in 1854. In 2020, Trump lost Wisconsin by just under 21,000 votes — a hauntingly slim margin that has pushed Republicans to lean into early and postal voting, an approach they once resisted.
