'BradCast' 8/12/2026 (What the Heck Just Happened in WI? Guest: John Nichols of 'The Nation')

What this episode covers

On today's 'BradCast': The 2026 midterm elections are taking shape with notable primary results from Alabama, Connecticut, Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Carolina, and Vermont. Alabama re-did their primary after GOP lawmakers corruptly eliminated a majority-Black voting district in the middle of the election. Trump-endorsed election conspiracist Mike Lindell lost the GOP primary for Minnesota governor. Wisconsin saw a wild ride in the Democratic primary race for governor, with unexpected twists and turns that resulted in Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley winning a razor-thin victory over very progressive state Rep. Francesca Hong. Wisconsin native JOHN NICHOLS, Executive Editor of 'The Nation,' explains what just happened in Wisconsin; why polling was so inaccurate; whether and how the two wings of the Democratic Party can unite; what it all means going forward; and much more.
