“Chair Wickler, good to see you, my friend, and a lot. Wisconsin's always at the center of everything. Why is this? It's special. It is the closest state in the country. It Wisconsin was the closest state in the presidential election in 2024. You know, there's a few states, three states that have had two presidential elections this century that came down to less than 1 percentage point. Wisconsin's had five.” (00:19–00:24)
