Then, Ron DeSantis announced for president in a glitchy Twitter town hall. We’ll give our reviews and size up the GOP field. J.D. vance is blaming immigrants for rising housing costs. We’ll explain why he’s wrong. Finally, has Wisconsin turned blue? We’ll review some promising trends. This is Majority 54!
