The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss whether Wisconsin U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson will run for reelection now that the GOP is the minority party. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
Five priorities for Wisconsin’s new leadership.
From higher taxes to overregulation, Wisconsin faces countless proposals that would undermine prosperity.
The court may have stuck to the letter of the law, but they certainly did not keep to its spirit. For if a governor can use his pen to go beyond the intent of the legislature, then there is no need for a legislature.
During the blue wave election campaigns, the nation’s $40-trillion debt was barely mentioned, nor was the fact the government spends nearly 19 cents of every dollar on interest.
The swing of party power is a resounding rebuke to President Donald Trump’s regime. But it’s much more than that: a vote of confidence in American democracy, small “d.”
If we ever want to win again, we need to move past the conspiracy kookery.
Voters under 30 broke overwhelmingly for Democrats in the midterms. If Republicans want those voters back in 2028, they need to have more to say about the cost of living, starting with telling voters what they’ll do not simply to decrease costs but also to prevent costs from climbing higher.

The abilities of society and the economy to absorb the onset of AI will continue to be tested. Both need to happen, because the technology is not going away.
That means addressing affordability. It means helping more workers save for retirement. It means supporting family caregivers. And it means protecting people from fraud and financial exploitation.
Majority Democrats need to lead for all Americans. Invite their political opponents for policy-making, like President Lincoln did. Earn some of their votes as a result.
Voters did not give Democrats any kind of mandate. So they need to be cautious in how they proceed.
Midterms show country may be ready for change in how we treat each other
Americans united to topple tyranny and embrace humane justice, bringing millions together. The moment is yet another awakening in our nation’s history, moving forward the founders’ vision to seek a nation that promotes equality and justice.
