Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday held a raucous concert in suburban Milwaukee with just four days to go until Election Day.

Ahead of Ms. Harris’ remarks, rappers GloRIlla, Flo Milli, MC Lyte and DJ Gemini Gilly and singing duo The Isley Brothers took the stage to entertain the crowd. 

Music superstar Cardi B didn’t perform, but introduced Ms. Harris, taking aim at former President Trump’s remarks that he’ll protect women “whether they like it or not.”

“If his definition of protection is not the freedom of choice, if his definition of protection is making sure our daughters have fewer rights than our mothers, then I don’t want it,” she said. 

In her remarks, Ms. Harris called for an end to the divisiveness she says Mr. Trump has promoted. 

“This is not someone who is thinking about how to make your life better,” she said of Mr. Trump. “This is someone who is increasingly unstable, obsessed with revenge. He is concussed with grievance and the man is out for unchecked power.”

The rally in the Milwaukee suburb of West Allis was Ms. Harris’ third campaign event in the critical swing state.

Earlier Friday, she spoke at a local union shop in Janesville, Wisconsin, and held a rally in Little Chute. 

Mr. Trump was also in Wisconsin, roughly seven minutes away from Ms. Harris’ rally. He spoke at a large arena in downtown Milwaukee

Polls show that the race is a dead heat in Wisconsin. 

Ms. Harris leads Mr. Trump 50%-49% among likely voters, according to a poll by Marquette University released Wednesday. However, a Marist poll released Friday found Ms. Harris ahead by 3 percentage points in the state.
