In this packed hour, John Mercure and Julia Fello tackle the day’s biggest stories. First, they break down trending topics—from Trump’s eyebrow-raising plan to build a White House ballroom, to State Fair weekend headliners, and a crucial update on Milwaukee Public Schools. Then, Julia reports from the courtroom where Maxwell Anderson was sentenced to consecutive life terms for the murder of Sade Robinson. Later, ABC’s Lalee Ibssa joins to discuss the White House’s concerning jobs report revisions and Trump’s latest shots at Fed Chair Jerome Powell. The hour closes with Republican gubernatorial candidate Josh Schoemann making his case live from the Wisconsin State Fair.
