WISCONSIN— One conservative group taking Wisconsin by storm is tapping a strategy previously emphasized by former President Barack Obama in order to win the 2024 presidential election for Republicans.  "It's narrowing down our organizing to the ward and then mobilizing," Turning Point Action National Enterprise Director Brett Galaszewski told Fox News Digital in an interview.  The group's ballot-chase program involves "neighbors talking with other neighbors."

The Trump campaign slammed Vice President Kamala Harris for allegedly wanting to "cancel American traditions," citing her 2019 comments supporting efforts to rename Columbus Day to Indigenous People's Day. "Kamala Harris is your stereotypical leftist. Not only does she want to  raise taxes and  defund the police – she also wants to cancel American traditions like Columbus Day," Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt exclusively told Fox News Digital. "President Trump will make sure Christopher Columbus’ great legacy is honored and protect this holiday from radical leftists who want to erase our nation’s history like Kamala Harris."

A new and viral political video featuring men declaring they are "man enough" to support Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is stacked with Hollywood actors and comedians.  A grassroots ad published last week by a former producer for Jimmy Kimmel has racked up millions of views on social media as critics lambaste the video supporting Harris as "the cringiest political ad ever created." The director behind the video said it was made for a group called Creatives for Harris, adding that even while the video is tongue in cheek, the message of the video "is true."  The video was not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee, according to a disclaimer in the 90-second video, but is shot as if it's an official campaign ad. It features six alleged manly men who claim they are so masculine that they eat "carburetors for breakfast" and aren’t "afraid of bears," while saying they also don't fear women an...
