Wisconsin, one of six swing states expected to decide the presidential election, holds primaries on Tuesday. The state is using new legislative maps after its most senior court deemed old district lines, which heavily favoured Republicans, unconstitutional. Joe Biden’s campaign will be hoping that the newly competitive local races boost Democratic turnout. Some Wisconsin Democrats, like those in nearby Michigan, may vote “uncommitted” to protest against Mr Biden’s support for Israel in the war in Gaza.
