Here & Now

Here & Now opening for June 5, 2026

Announcer:
The following program is a PBS Wisconsin original production.

Frederica Freyberg:
President Trump makes a visit to Wisconsin, and so does his health secretary, both here ahead of the midterms to stress the importance and survival of dairy farms.
I’m Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” we talk with the incoming chairman of the Wisconsin Elections Commission about new federal rules on absentee ballots and the FBI probe in Milwaukee into the 2020 election. We have a report on the number and reasons why so many rural schools across the state are closing their doors permanently. And we hear what the president had to say today during his visit to Wisconsin. It’s “Here & Now” for June 5.
