WASHINGTON, D.C. – As Wisconsin continues to confront a public health and economic crisis, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin is calling on President Trump to put in place a national testing plan, and provide states the medical supplies necessary to conduct widespread testing.

(MADISON, WI) — The Democratic Party of Wisconsin is proud to announce the launch of its Save the Veto initiative, a campaign to prevent Republicans from gaining a supermajority in each chamber of the state legislature.

I have had the honor to serve as Vice President and oversee some difficult projects that President Obama entrusted to me, including implementing the $800 billion Recovery Act. I know how difficult it can be to muster a whole-of-government effort. But while Vice President Pence’s visit today to a GE facility manufacturing ventilators is meant to signal victory, the truth is that the slow and erratic response we have seen from this Administration is anything but. The Trump Administration is currently responsible for one of the most significant failures of governance of any administration in modern history. It failed to
