Summary

Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey are joined by Republican strategist Bill McCoshen and UpNorthNews founder Pat Kreitlow to break down the rapidly shifting Democratic primary for Wisconsin governor following David Crowley’s endorsement of Sara Rodriguez. They discuss Francesca Hong’s growing momentum, the battle for Democratic voters, and what happens next as the race narrows. Later, the panel examines the latest developments in the Iran conflict, rising gas prices, and Wisconsin’s congressional races before wrapping up with Say Something Nice, Grab Bags, Steve’s “What Would You Ban?” segment, and the Week-In-Review.
