It’s the first day of in-person early voting in Wisconsin — and it’s shaping up to be a busy day.

Former President Barack Obama will be in Madison for a rally Tuesday afternoon. He’s set to appear with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and “Democrats up and down, the ballot,” to urge people to vote early for Vice President Kamala Harris, the campaign said. Walz also will rally in Racine Tuesday night.

Obama and Walz are expected to take the stage at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison around 1:30 p.m. and Walz will continue on to Racine, where he will deliver remarks at 6:45 p.m.

The Journal Sentinel will provide live coverage from both events, as well as coverage from early voting sites in the Milwaukee area.
