>> THE MIDTERM PRIMARIES SET THE
STAGE FOR THE BATTLE TO
NOVEMBER 8TH.
WINNING CANDIDATES IMMEDIATELY
PIVOTED TO THE 90-DAY CAMPAIGN
AHEAD OF THE GENERAL ELECTION.
AS MARISSA REPORTS, THE RESULTS
BROUGHT THE PREDICTED AND THE
UNEXPECTED.
>> WISCONSIN'S PRIMARY ELECTION
LEFT REPUBLICANS ON THE EDGE OF
THEIR SEAT.
AS CANDIDATES REBECCA KLEEFISCH,
"ESTABLISHMENT FAVORITE WITH
YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AS SCOTT
WALKER'S LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR"
AND TIM MICHELS, THE SELF-FUNDED
BUSINESSMAN VIED TO BE THE GOP
NOMINEE.
>> WE FEEL WE ARE ON A SLIPPERY
SLOPE TOWARD SOCIALISM AND
CLOAKED BEHIND SOCIAL ISSUES.
AN OUTSIDER, A BUSINESSMAN AND
VETERAN IN THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE.
>> IN THE END, MICHELS
PREVAILED, WITH THE BOOST OF
DONALD TRUMP SUPPORT JUST DAYS
BEFORE THE ELECTION.
PROVING THAT A REPUBLICAN CAN
WIN THE STATE WITHOUT THE FULL
BCKING OF THE MILWAUKEE
SUBURBS.
AN I'VE CONCEDED THIS RACE TO
TIM MICHELS AND I URGE YOU ALL
TO STAY IN THE FIGHT BECAUSE THE
FIGHT NOW IS TRULY AGAINST TONY
EVERS, AND THE LIBERALS WHO WANT
TO TAKE AWAY OUR WAY OF LIFE.
>> THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE AND
INCUMBENT, TONY EVERS, WITH NO
PRIMARY OPPONENT SAW AN EASY
SLIDE INTO THE GENERAL ELECTION
AND WAS JOINED BY HIS NEW
RUNNING MATE, SARA RODRIGUEZ.
>> HE'S NOT AN OUTSIDER, NOT AN
INSIDER, AND HE CAN WEAR A BLUE
SHIRT TO HAVE A BLUE COLLAR.
AT THE END OF THE DAY I'M NOT
QUITE SURE SOMEONE OF HIS STATUS
WITH HOUSES ALL ACROSS THE
COUNTRY COULD SAY I'M JUST ONE
OF YOU BECAUSE THERE'S NOT MANY
OF HIM LIKE THAT IN THE STATE OF
WISCONSIN.
>> MANDELA BARNES OPTING FOR A
RUN AT U.S. SENATE INSTEAD OF
ANOTHER TERM AS EVERS'
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR TRAVERSED A
CROWDED PRIMARY FIELD BUT SAILED
TO A SMOOTH VICTORY AFTER HIS
OPPONENTS DROPPED OUT A WEEK
BEFORE THE ELECTION.
>> IT'S TIME FOR US TO BE
REPRESENTED BY PEOPLE WHO
ACTUALLY SHARE OUR EXPERIENCES.
AND WHILE RON JOHNSON CONTINUES
TO STACK THE DECK AGAINST US,
I'M HERE TO TELL YOU WE ARE NOT
GOING TO GIVE UP.
>> BARNES WILL TAKE ON INCUMBENT
RON JOHNSON, RUNNING FOR HIS
THIRD TERM.
HE ACKNOWLEDGED HIS GENERAL
ELECTION OPPONENT ON TWITTER
SAYING IT'S A CONTEST BETWEEN
RADICAL LEFT SOCIALISM VERSUS
FREEDOM AND PROSPERITY.
IT WILL ALSO PUT THE LIES AND
DISTORTIONS OF DEMOCRATS AND THE
MEDIA VERSUS THE TRUTH.
IN WHAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE MOST
SURPRISING UPSET OF THE NIGHT,
ROBIN VOS NARROWLY WON IN RACINE
COUNTY.
AND STEEN WAS ENDORSED BY THE
FORMER STATE SUPREME COURT
JUSTICE WHOM VOSS HIRED TO
INVESTIGATION 2020 ELECTIONS IN
WISCONSIN.
NO PROOF OF ELECTION FRAUD OR
MISCONDUCT AND HE IS BEING SUED.
VOSS FIRED BACK.
>> MIKE GEBELMAN IS AN
EMBARRASSMENT TO THE STATE.
AND IN THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT, BRAD PFAFF READ OUT
REBECCA COOK, AND NOW MOVES ON
