We talk with a political scientist about some of the latest threads showing the Republican Party sorting out its leadership and direction, and to what extent former President Donald Trump fits that vision. Then a veterinarian specializing in viruses that pass between animals and humans explains what more we know about the virus that causes COVID-19. And we learn about a new initiative to uncover and share Wisconsin Latinx stories from throughout the state’s history.
