Has Wisconsin Become a Swing State?

Midday on WNYC | Jul 8, 2018

Dan Kaufman discusses his new book The Fall of Wisconsin: The Conservative Conquest of a Progressive Bastion and the Future of American Politics, where he examines how Wisconsin went from being a progressive laboratory of democracy, to the state that elevated Donald Trump to the presidency in the 2016 election.

On July 10 Dan Kaufman will be in conversation with George Packer at McNally Jackson at 7 pm (76 N 4th St Brooklyn, NY 11249).

This segment is guest hosted by Arun Venugopal.
