The former president pleaded not guilty in a New York City courtroom Tuesday. After the proceedings, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said that he would not "normalize serious criminal conduct." Trump immediately flew back to Mar-A-Lago and was defiant in a speech. David Farenthold, Susanne Craig, Andrew Weissman, Tim O'Brien, Charles Coleman, Jessie Opoien, Jon Meacham, and Rep. Adam Schiff join.
The former president will be arraigned on some 30 counts of document related fraud. And in Wisconsin, voters prepare to head to the polls to vote for a new state supreme court justice – in what is being called the most consequential election of the year. Carol Leonnig, Michael Schmidt, Rebecca Roiphe, Charles Coleman, Rep. Ted Lieu, Tim Miller and Jessie Opoien join.
We talk to Liz Blackbourn and Annie Graul from Dems Abroad about what the organization does, the insane obstacles to voting when you are living or studying abroad, and what we can do at home to help. Then Scott Girard and Jessie Opoien join to give a crash course on the state of Wisconsin Education funding and where we might end up after this year's budget negotiations.
