The mostly virtual Democratic National Convention is behind us now. Even though it wasn’t actually held in Milwaukee because of the coronavirus, the convention did have a bit of a Wisconsin flavor to it each night. Congresswoman Gwen Moore, Gov.

Republicans have also planned a mostly virtual event, and it will have a Wisconsin presence, too — as former Gov. Scott Walker will nominate Mike Pence for a second term as vice president.
In this week’s Capitol Notes conversation, WUWM’s Marti Mikkelson asked JR Ross of wispolitics.com why he thinks the Trump campaign chose Walker for the role.
