In 2020, Joe Biden billed himself as a “bridge” candidate to a new generation of the Democratic Party. Now that the president has passed the torch to Kamala Harris, Wisconsin delegates expressed their admiration for Biden as he closed out DNC activities on Monday night at the United Center.
In a 2-minute speech at the Democratic National Convention, Lt. Gov.

Gov. Tony Evers said today while Joe Biden’s passing of the Dem presidential torch to Kamala Harris is bittersweet, he’s confident the outcome on Election Day will be very good for Wisconsin Democrats.
“It’s still pretty dynamic, so we’ll see what happens,” Johnson said on WISN’s “UpFront,” which is produced in partnership with WisPolitics. “If it were to happen, the fact that Milwaukee is being recognized nationally and even globally, especially after hosting the Republican National Convention, shining additional spotlight on our city, I think that’s really, really important.”

— In this week’s DC Wrap: Green Bay businessman Tony Wied and Eau Claire nonprofit leader Rebecca Cooke secure primary wins in the 8th and 3rd CDs and JD Vance is set to visit Milwaukee tomorrow for a campaign stop.
Wisconsin voters soundly rejected two constitutional amendments that sought to give lawmakers input on how some federal money is spent rather than leaving that solely up to the governor. Meanwhile, Rebecca Cooke won a three-way Dem primary to take on freshman U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Prairie du Chien, in the 3rd CD. And Tony Wied won a three-way GOP primary to face Dem Kristin Lyerly in the open 8th CD.
Freshman GOP Rep. Nate Gustafson, of Fox Crossing, defeated 12-year incumbent Michael Schraa, of Oshkosh, today after the two were paired in the same district under the new maps. Meanwhile, Rep.
