This hour captures Milwaukee’s energy—from the thrill of a live Brewers game update to the frenzy surrounding George Webb’s free burger giveaway. Maggie then shifts to the fast-emerging 2026 Wisconsin gubernatorial race, spotlighting Democratic contenders Josh Kaul, Sara Rodriguez, and David Crowley, and contrasting their centrist appeal with progressive voices like State Senator Kelda Roys and Francesca Hong. As Trump stirs controversy with new executive orders, local politics come into focus with Milwaukee County Supervisor Jack Eckblad weighing in on the housing crisis and its policy implications. Political Editor Dan Shafer joins to analyze Democrats’ strategic outlook and the dynamics shaping Wisconsin’s political future.
