Democrats must step up, read the election results and cease denial. The lesson of the 2024 election is that the economy trumps all else.
A survey of Madison-area businesses found 82% of respondents expect higher revenues next year, though talent shortages and higher operating costs remain top challenges. The Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce recently released the results of an online survey conducted Sept.
Getting to the roots of this election, through an endless tangle of bad narratives.
How Republicans flipped Wisconsin.
Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Tammy Baldwin win on the same ballot.
Politics is a long game. Resilience and adaptability are key to anyone’s ability to play, survive, and secure a win. If we are going to weather political storms and maintain key relationships that we value, the ability to regroup must be a part of the game.
During the campaign, Donald Trump made it clear that he was going to stack his new administration with people who wouldn’t give him any trouble. And now we know he wasn’t kidding.

Two bright lights from our state made headlines after Nov. 5. U.S. Sen.
