Vice President Kamala Harris returning to Wisconsin, visiting La Crosse on Monday

Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to La Crosse on Monday, marking her third visit to Wisconsin this year.

Her visit will focus on "fighting for workers, supporting families, and improving health care for people across America," according to the White House.

Harris was last in Wisconsin in March, when she announced an executive order aimed at promoting apprenticeships and visited her childhood home in Madison. She also rallied voters in typically red Waukesha County around abortion in January.

Harris' visit will come days after the release of the latest Marquette University Law School poll, which showed President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump locked in a tight race. Biden was two percentage points behind Trump among both registered voters and likely voters in Wisconsin, with Trump at 51% and Biden at 49%.

That poll also found voters considered Biden better at handling abortion policy and health care, while Trump led on the economy. A majority of Wisconsin voters — 54% — said they supported a national ban on abortion after 15 weeks, with exceptions for rape, incest and the life and health of the mother. It's the first time the Marquette poll asked that question.

Biden was last in Wisconsin in March, when he highlighted a multimillion dollar investment toward Milwaukee's "complete streets" initiative and stopped at the campaign's new Wisconsin headquarters.

Trump has made one visit to Wisconsin this election cycle, rallying voters in Green Bay on April 2, the day of the state's presidential primary. He focused heavily on immigration and repeated false claims about the 2020 election in his remarks.
