58:41Now Playing🔴 LIVE | THE JIM ACOSTA SHOW
Ben Wikler, the former Wisconsin Democratic Party chair, joins Jim Acosta to talk about his new book "This Is The Plan: How to End America's Meltdown and Save Democracy."
Wikler says the state written off as a "democracy desert" is the blueprint for beating MAGA nationally, and that the fight is won at the level of the ballot most voters skip.
He also previews "This Is Wisconsin," his new Civic Media series traveling the state as local news collapses into rural news deserts — and why he argues the future of democracy runs through the places national politics forgot.
Also today economist Paul Krugman and Ellie Leonard .
