Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul has taken on the Trump administration in more than 60 lawsuits — and he's not done.
Now running for a third term in a rematch against Eric Toney, Kaul sits down with Dr. Kristin Lyerly to talk about the fake electors case, the fight to protect abortion access in Wisconsin, and why this election matters more than ever — including the sharp contrast between the two candidates' records. Toney has built his campaign around "public safety over politics," but violent crime in his own county has risen under his watch as DA even as statewide violent crime has dropped roughly 20% under Kaul. He's also been uncompromising in his anti-abortion position, standing in stark contrast to Kaul's record on reproductive rights.
