The 2024 election was a bit of a mixed bag there, to say the least. Kamala Harris lost Wisconsin by a single percentage point, but Tammy Baldwin, the Democratic Senate candidate, won the state. Wickler then launched a run for DNC chair, which he lost to Ken Martin. A lot of Democrats, seeing the difficulties the DNC has had since in fundraising and organization and internal unity, very much wish Wickler had won that race. And now Wickler is back. (00:48–00:53)
