## Resource

Steve Scaffidi is joined by WISN political director Matt Smith to break down the Wisconsin Democratic Convention, the governor’s race straw poll, and what party leaders believe about Democrats’ chances in the 2026 midterms. Later, Steve discusses social media restrictions for teenagers in the U.K., checks in on the economy with Annex Wealth Management’s Dave Spano, and welcomes Joe Zepecki for a deeper look at what the convention results may — and may not — mean for Wisconsin voters.
