Discombobricated (Hour 2)

Also, White House senior advisor Neera Tanden recently spoke in Chippewa Falls about more Biden-Harris investments in rural Wisconsin. We’ll cover her remarks with dairy farmer Hans Breitenmoser.

He welcomes Dave Palmer of the Center for Ballot Freedom to talk about the future of the Republican party.
