this cycle. why are there so many competitive house races in minnesota? guest: we have a number of rural democrats, which is an increasingly rare phenomenon. and nolan, tim walls, -- by theerson numbers, they should be republicans but they are strong democrat to have managed to hold on. s is running for running asolan is lieutenant governor, and peterson is still there, but that leaves those two seats very competitive and we have two competitive seats on the suburban side. those strange dynamics are coming to head in one election. it is going to mean a ton of

national attention. remember that. it all for we do not need trump. ast: to wisconsin, doug is republican. that last comment is, year i look at my property tax i looked it -- back in the history book for our scott walker was governor, i was .aying $2500 a year i am currently paying $1800. $700 is extra money to spend towards my grandchildren. i think scott walker has been doing a great job. i remembered there was an , and didn't a

democrat go hide in illinois? i think that is not what i feelve of and believe. that is my comment. the: doug, i am not sure of situation you are referring to, but maybe somebody who does is craig gilbert. re-listening on that last call? guest: yes. he was referring to a controversial piece of the saga when there was a fight over collective bargaining rights, and democrats -- of the only way they could prevent a vote from to flee towas illinois for a few weeks breed host -- few weeks. go to a crowded

primary there are two see who is going to take the next shot at taking down governor scott walker. with likely to emerge on the democrat side? guest: the favorite in this race is the state school superintendent, tony evers. no one else has broken out of this. field was ais household name before the race has won but evers several statewide elections for school superintendent and even though he was not a prominent political name going into this, he has had a pretty good lead and a field in which many of the candidates have very low name recognition. host: we showed a tweet earlier for the president endorsing governor scott walker. how important is that endorsement heading into the general? republican candidates and politicians in wisconsin like

-- are not very eager to be in conflict with president trump even though scott walker clashed with him during the republican presidential race and was really driven out of a race by donald trump. pretty supportive and kept his criticisms and differences pretty muted with president trump even though they clearly disagree on some issues. it is important to him certainly in the fall that he has a united republican base behind him. host: what are the race rankers putting this governor's race at? how competitive isn't expected to be? guest: throughout much of the election cycle if you look at iew nonpartisan analysts v the race outside of wisconsin, governor walker has been seen as the favorites because he has won three times already and he is an experienced politician. but, the governor himself has called attention to the fact that this is a very tough race.

he has gone around warning to his own republican supporters that he may be behind in the first polls that come out after the primaries. saturdayne audience on in a commentary on how polarized the state is that daffy duck 48% of the out with vote against him if he were running. the burden grows the more you serve in office. he is seeking a third term and that also raises the bar for him. contest inenate wisconsin, is tammy baldwin expected to have a tough race? guest: it is a real race and she is also favored in her race partly or in good part because incumbent senators are extremely

hard to beat when our party is not in power. when they are not in the same president so that climate is a challenge for scott walker but an asset for tammy baldwin. her potential republican challengers are not household names either, so she is definitely the favorite. a tremendous amount of money has been and will continue to be spent in this race including a lot of money spent against her. host: to the house races and wisconsin, where will you be keeping an eye on tonight? guest: two in particular. the one that has gotten the most attention, -- most the district of house speaker paul ryan who is first elected in 1998. it is been a long time since that seat was open. it is a republican seats but it contains a few democratic cities, so it is not alter a

republican. it is a tough seat for democrats to win and it is now an open seat because ryan announced he would be retiring. another race north of milwaukee in the fifth congressional istrict, the incumbent there being composed by a nephew of a name that some may recall -- the former owner of the basque while team of milwaukee and a longtime senator from wisconsin. host: has president trump wade and on any house race or the senate race even? guest: no. he is now weighed in on the biggest republican primary race for the senate between a and businessman, and a longtime state legislator. that is a very competitive race. some cases, that race has become a battle over who is more

supportive of president trump but president trump has not taken sides. host: craig gilbert covers it all for the "milwaukee journal sentinel." >> here's a look at our primetime schedule on the c-span networks. author and mother jones reporter ari berman discusses the history and future of voting rights. is book tvwo, it with recent books on religion and politics. history tv american with programs on the cold war, and the space race. coming up on wednesday morning, inside elections reporter on the
