Summary

It's been a nightmarish start of the week for Republicans: the liberal reclaiming of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, led by Judge Janet Protasiewicz's 10-point trouncing of her opponent, came on top of former President Trump's arrest and arraignment earlier Tuesday. And in Chicago, Brandon Johnson's edging out of Paul Vallas for the city's mayorship seemed to show a breath of relief for the progressive wing's approach to the surge of crime in cities. Scott Bland and Alexandra Marquez of the NBC News Political Unit join Chuck to analyze what this Election Day tells us about the road to 2024.
