Guest: Keya Vakil

Keya Vakil gives us analysis of this week’s national news, including our country’s most dysfunctional Congress passing another short-term spending bill. Still, Sen. Ron Johnson and US Reps. Derrick Van Orden and Tom Tiffany voted against it, preferring a government shutdown with barely a month until a national election. In a separate story, Tiffany spread misinformation about a duplicate ballot situation in Wisconsin.

Courier Newsroom national correspondent Keya Vakil takes us on a trip through this week’s top political headlines, including how the Republican candidate for governor in North Carolina apparently liked to refer to himself as a “Black Nazi” and say many other extreme things on the message boards of a pornography website.

Donald Trump stepped on so many rakes during this week’s debate that Eric Hovde started getting jealous. Not to fear, Hovde has a new batch of ads that once again pretend to feature “regular folks” but are deep within the party-faithful. And Courier Newsroom national correspondent Keya Vakil tells us about how more political issues are finding their way into courtrooms instead of voting booths.

While Donald Trump is promising tariffs and trade wars that could cripple American agriculture, President Joe Biden told a crowd in western Wisconsin on Thursday about the next round of investments he’s making to expand the rural economy. We’ll also talk to Courier Newsroom national correspondent Keya Vakil about the growing number of lifelong Republicans who understand it’s not enough to oppose Trump—they’re publicly advocating voting for Kamala Harris.

In a time when police around the country were rightfully being criticized for killing a rising number of unarmed Black men, guess whose fault it was, according to Senate candidate Eric Hovde? To him, the fault lies with then-President Barack Obama who, he claimed, used race to generate anger. In happier news: the Biden-Harris administration is now officially saving taxpayers billions of dollars in lower prescription drug prices.

The short answer, of course, is no—as evidenced by rambling, fact-deficient, and often incoherent monologues that passed for a Donald Trump news conference. But as someone who would be the oldest-ever president if he wins in November, asking about Trump’s mental acuity is a responsible long-term question. We’ll talk to Courier Newsroom national correspondent Keya Vakil about that and other national political news.

What could we expect from a Harris administration? Courier Newsroom national political correspondent Keya Vakil reports from Los Angeles on how the vice president’s policy agenda targets relief toward middle class workers and consumers—thinks like an expanded child tax credit that could’ve passed yesterday, but Republicans in the Senate voted it down despite a strong bipartisan vote in the House.

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff comes to Wisconsin to campaign for his wife, Kamala Harris, and collects a key endorsement—from his own ex-wife, who responds to rude comments about childless women from JD Vance. Meanwhile, Congressman Derrick Van Orden is being rude and condescending to young women again.
