4p: Madison's Breaking Point

from Wisconsin's Afternoon News

This hour focuses on the escalating situation in Madison, where protesters responding to a recent shooting have been blocking major intersections and drawing criticism for disrupting traffic and hindering emergency responders. As city officials move to clear the encampments and reopen streets, the effort has sparked intense debate over public safety, protest tactics, and the city's response. WTMJ’s Steve Scaffidi joins to discuss the fallout, public reaction, and how the controversy is intersecting with Wisconsin’s governor’s race, including the latest surrounding Francesca Hong’s campaign. Plus, an update on the search for missing kayakers and the latest MKE Health Briefing.
