A Door County judge has rejected a challenge to the absentee envelopes the state Elections Commission approved a year ago.

“What I was hearing from is not some elite or donor class,” Baldwin said on WISN’s “UpFront,” which is produced in partnership with WisPolitics. “Every rally I went to, the 4th of July parades that I attended in northern Wisconsin, just average people were coming up, and they so respect the work that Joe Biden has done. But they were conveying to me and asking me to convey to the president that they appreciate his work, and they asked him to step aside.”

On this week’s episode of WisconsinEye’s “Rewind,” CBS 58’s Emilee Fannon and CBS 58 reporter A.J. Bayatpour discuss Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit to West Allis and the shakeup in the presidential race, Democrats’ split on Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress, and more.

Baldwin said she was “deeply disappointed” Netanyahu didn’t use his time to lay out a plan to end the war in Gaza, bring home hostages, boost humanitarian assistance into Gaza and move toward a two-state solution. Meanwhile, Wisconsin Republicans praised Netanyahu and blasted Vice President Kamala Harris, the likely Dem presidential nominee, for failing to attend his speech.

On this week’s episode of WisconsinEye’s “Rewind,” WisPolitics’s JR Ross and CBS 58’s Emilee Fannon discuss the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, whether a Trump-Vance ticket can win over suburban Milwaukee voters, the latest fundraising numbers in the U.S. Senate race and more.

Vos told WisPolitics he’s been a delegate, alternate or guest for every national convention since 1996, and he’s looking forward to attending next week to be a part of showing the country “how great Wisconsin is.”

Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski agreed to tweaks in how her office handles open records requests after a lawsuit by a conservative group found records showing her predecessor used his personal email account to seek advice on the office budget.

Those seeking to oust Assembly Speaker Robin Vos are vowing to appeal a Dane County judge’s ruling rejecting their request to order a recall election.

A representative for one of the state’s top anti-abortion groups warned Republicans could lose votes after a committee approved a new party platform that includes no call for a national ban for the first time in 40 years. Meanwhile, other groups that oppose abortion had a more measured response to the policy released by the Republican National Committee, which notes states can pass their own laws restricting abortion.

President Joe Biden during a high-stakes campaign stop in Madison insisted he won’t drop out, spurring the state party chair to declare he’s with Biden “every step of the way.”

President Joe Biden at a Madison rally today tried to shut down speculation he would leave the presidential race and dismissed concerns about his age after a heavily criticized debate last week.

The state Supreme Court today again allowed local clerks to use unstaffed absentee ballot drop boxes, restoring the option for voters months ahead of Wisconsin’s presidential race.

The liberal-controlled state Supreme Court backed hearing a case that argues the Wisconsin Constitution guarantees the right to an abortion, along with a separate case challenging an 1849 law that had been interpreted as banning abortion in Wisconsin except to save the life of the mother.

The district is set to receive an estimated $555.3 million in the 2024-25 school year, down from the $636.4 million it received for the 2023-24 school year — a 12.7 percent decrease. That includes a $42.6 million adjustment due to a reporting error in the 2022-23 school year, according to an MPS release.
