Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers 'Voting Rights Is A National Issue'

Published | Video Starts at 03:38

So he's fine with having people, doctors thrown in jail and women, you know, not having the option of having an abortion and no exceptions for incest or rape. He's okay with the 1849 law that was put in place well before women had a chance to actually vote. Last one for you. Do you feel that your race is tied to your lieutenant governor? Is the race with Johnson that he's facing, is that tied to the result we're seeing with you? (03:38–03:47)
