VP @JoeBiden, in his virtual rally in Milwaukee, lays out Trump's record of making enormous promises—and then breaking every single one of them.
Watch the @JoeBiden virtual rally here: live.joebiden.com/c/wi-virtual-r…
"Broken promises" is a powerful message—because for folks that voted for Trump last time, it's a strong argument for opposing him this time. For starters, Trump promised everyone great health care. Instead, uninsured rates have shot up.
Senator @TammyBaldwin closes out the virtual rally, welcoming @JoeBiden back to Wisconsin—a nod to his history of campaigning here as he helped power back-to-back wins with @BarackObama.
A call to action at the end from @TammyBaldwin: Download the Team Joe app! Here's your link --> joe.link/app

One year ago today, Democratic Party of Wisconsin members elected me to a two-year term as chair. Today, thanks to the labor of thousands, our party is stronger than ever—and our country is engulfed w lethal crises, from COVID to the chronic crisis of racism. We have work to do.
I’m grateful to all those who put their trust in me in a time and place where the stakes are impossibly high. My response is to put my trust in you. We have to win—and to organize for long-term change at the same time. Fight. Include. Respect. Empower.
Political parties can’t do everything, but they can do some things. Especially when they understand that they’re a part of broader social movement ecosystem—many people with many strategies and tactics, working for change.

New study of what happened after Wisconsin's election on April 7: "We find a statistically and economically significant association between in-person voting and the spread of COVID-19 two to three weeks after the election."
nber.org/papers/w27187
Study: "we find the consolidation of polling locations, and relatively fewer absentee votes, increased positive testing rates two to three weeks after the election."

In Milwaukee, 97% of polling places closed after droves of poll workers canceled due to coronavirus fears.
The hardest-hit communities in Milwaukee: Predominantly African-American and Latinx precincts. Massively depressed voter turnout.
