A special edition of Capitol Chats reviews the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. WisPolitics President Jeff Mayers speaks with Stan Milam of the Janesville Gazette, Grace Segers of The New Republic, Ruth Conniff of the Wisconsin Examiner and Matt Smith of WISN TV, co-host of WisPolitics partner show, “UpFront.”
“I’m gonna make sure we send [Baldwin] back to the Senate,” Warnock said. “[Republicans] keep parachuting in billionaires who have, at best, a tenuous connection… One thing I know is that people, especially young people, can spot a fraud a mile away. Tammy Baldwin is the real deal.”
Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway is sensing history after a few days at the Democratic National Convention as the elusive goal of electing the first female president seems within reach.
“We only know close elections in Wisconsin, and it doesn’t matter how popular you are or how unpopular you are, it’s going to be close,” Godlewski said in a WisPolitics-WisconsinEye interview from the DNC.
“It’s been a stark contrast having the RNC in the city of Milwaukee, to being here at the DNC, seeing the message that they brought, but also seeing the countermeasures that we’re bringing to the table,” Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley said.
“One of the most important things I got from (Tuesday) is that the Democratic Party is very much a party right now that’s focused on the future and what we can do for Americans, rather than voting against somebody else,” Wisconsin delegate Deon Canon said.
State Dem Party Chair Ben Wikler told reporters Wednesday the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz ticket is creating excitement, including a surge in volunteers and large turnout at nominees’ events, like last night’s rally in Milwaukee. That, he said, means good things for Dem candidates in downballot contests.
Roman Fritz, a 19-year-old UW-Milwaukee student from Oconomowoc, said he plans to support Harris in November and backs her economic plans.
Josefine Jaynes, at age 18 took a gap year after high school to run for the state Assembly and try to flip a southwestern GOP seat once held by Democrat Pat Lucey. That didn’t work out. But now she’s a UW-Madison student from southwestern Wisconsin’s Readstown and part of the Wisconsin delegation to the Democratic National Convention – being inspired by Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.
Madison-area U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan sees new Dem enthusiasm translating into “remarkable results coming out of Wisconsin come November.”
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul warned that efforts akin to the Republican false elector scheme of 2020 would be subject to Department of Justice scrutiny and those behind such efforts would be held accountable.
