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

Frederica Freyberg:
A week of bluster at the U.S. Capitol has further fractured Republicans on immigration and aid for Ukraine. And Governor Tony Evers tells Eau Claire the startling and sudden closure of Chippewa Valley hospitals and clinics is wrong.
I’m Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” we hear from Wisconsin senators on border security and funding for Ukraine. And part two of a story on the influx of immigrants to a small Wisconsin city. Charles Franklin takes the temperature of voters on presidential candidates and enthusiasm for November. And finally, the state of rural healthcare and what declining access means for millions. It’s “Here & Now” for February 9.
