Large donations are flowing through Wisconsin political parties to candidates on both sides.
New campaign finance filings show billionaire Reid Hoffman gave the state Democratic Party $2.5 million last week, and the party transferred $1.9 million to David Crowley the next day.
Large Republican Party transfers to Tom Tiffany show a similar route for campaign money.
The Democratic donation from Hoffman comes as Crowley runs ads seeking to connect Tiffany to Jeffrey Epstein.
That's despite Hoffman's own acknowledged dealings with Epstein and visiting his island.
Hoffman says his contacts with Epstein were for MIT fundraising and has apologized.
Victims have not accused Hoffman of criminal wrongdoing connected to Epstein.
Milwaukee's Archbishop is apologizing for a prayer that went public without permission.
Archbishop Jeffrey Grob says he never intended to take part in a political photo opportunity with President Trump.

The news of that meeting was public information, but Grob says they later met and prayed with Trump in the Oval Office.
The White House released images of that meeting without permission.
He says he prays for elected officials every day, but understands why the visit upset people.
Wisconsin's early vote is looking bluer than it did in 2024, according to estimates by On Point Politics.
The online vote tracker shows nearly 650,000 votes have already been cast for our state's midterm election.
Wisconsin does not publish party registration for early voters, but on point polling estimates the party mix based on county results and voter demographics.
Right now, their estimates show early votes for Democrats are more than double the votes for Republicans.
Wisconsin election data shows Milwaukee, Dane, and Waukesha counties as the top three for early voting numbers, with Brown County coming in at a distant number four.
As we get closer to our November 3rd midterm election, the Wisconsin DMV is reminding voters to make sure they have proper identification before they head to the polls.
Civic Media's Maddie Schaefer tells us what you'll need to cast your ballot next week.
A Wisconsin driver's license or state ID card are two of the most common forms of identification accepted at the polls.
A federally compliant real ID is not required, and certain military and student IDs are also accepted.
For those who need an ID to vote, the DMV offers state ID cards free of charge.
If the card isn't ready in time for election day, eligible voters can receive a temporary receipt that can be used at the polls.
Voters who need a state ID can visit wisconsindmv.gov
for information on the documents required to apply.
The DMV also has a new online locator to help residents find their nearest service center.
For Civic Media News, I'm Maddie
Schaefer.
Voters can check which forms of identification are accepted on the Wisconsin Elections Commission website.
And that's your state news update.
