Alleged Drunken Driver Narrowly Misses Kamala Harris Motorcade

A suspected intoxicated driver narrowly avoided Vice President Kamala Harris' motorcade after a Milwaukee campaign event. The incident occurred on Monday night when Harris' motorcade encountered a vehicle traveling the wrong way on Interstate 94; the vehicle came within feet of her convoy. Milwaukee County Sheriff's deputies trailing the motorcade halted the vehicle and arrested the 55-year-old male driver. He allegedly failed sobriety tests and had an open alcohol container, revealed spokesperson James Burnett.

The driver claimed he was unaware of his wrong-way transit and was not trying to harm Harris or her campaign. WISN-TV disclosed that he didn't recall entering the freeway. Authorities are awaiting blood alcohol test outcomes, with potential charges of reckless endangerment and first-offense OWI. The legal alcohol limit for driving in Wisconsin is 0.08 percent. The driver reportedly utilized an off-ramp to access the freeway. It was a second security blip for Harris' campaign in Milwaukee: Press vans accompanying running mate Tim Walz's motorcade were rear-ended there in September.
