5p: Election Night, Pennant Races & What Comes Next

from Wisconsin's Afternoon News

This hour begins with Adam Roberts’ Election Night preview, setting the stage for one of the most closely watched nights in Wisconsin politics and outlining the key races, storylines, and results to watch. CBS News’ Major Garrett then joins for a conversation that spans Wisconsin’s two biggest obsessions: politics and sports. We discuss the Brewers’ series against the Padres and what it could mean for Milwaukee’s postseason aspirations before turning to the latest developments in Wisconsin’s race for governor and the broader implications of the contest. Plus, a replay of our Election Day conversation with UW–La Crosse political science professor Anthony Chergosky, who breaks down turnout trends, candidate strategy, and what the results could mean for Wisconsin’s political future.
