Here & Now opening for August 9, 2024

Announcer:
The following program is a PBS Wisconsin original production. You’re watching “Here & Now” 2024 election coverage.

Crowd:
VP Walz! VP Walz! VP Walz!

Kamala Harris:
Oh, it really is good to be back in Wisconsin.

Frederica Freyberg:
The now official Democratic nominee for president, Kamala Harris, returns to the Badger State with a big rally in Eau Claire just two weeks after her last visit, this time with her vice-presidential pick Tim Walz in tow. The Trump campaign closely trails Harris in the polls and to events in Wisconsin, with JD Vance holding a much smaller campaign stop just a few miles down the road.
I’m Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” Murv Seymour reports on the presidential campaign stumping again in Wisconsin. And Charles Franklin gives us the latest on how the candidates match up in his latest poll. Then a preview of the Republican primary in Green Bay’s congressional district and Milwaukee County’s continued funding struggle. It’s “Here & Now” for August 9.
