3. Wisconsin breaks coronavirus case record for 2nd day in a row

Trump is holding a lot of mass rallies in Wisconsin, because the right wing State Supreme Court has invalidated the Governor's efforts to limit such mass gatherings. So, Trump likes to go to Wisconsin so that he can have his ego stroking mass super spreader events.

Biden/Harris have visited Wisconsin several times over the past two months. Heck, Jill Biden and Elizabeth Warren are going to be there on back to back days. iven that the Governor has been harshly critical of the Trump campaign packing people in, it would be a huge mistake to try to hold a Trump-like rally just because you can get away with it in Wisconsin.

MADISON (WLUK) -- Wisconsin broke its daily record for new coronavirus cases for the second day in a row on Friday, while the seven-day average now tops 3,000 cases for the first time.

The state Department of Health Services reported 3,861 new cases, or 26.5% of the 14,586 tests completed. That broke Thursday's single-day record of 3,747 cases.

The state also reported 21 new deaths, with the seven-day average rising to 19.

Also on Friday, a third lawsuit was filed arguing that Democratic Gov. Tony Evers had overstepped his authority by issuing public health emergencies and implementing a statewide mask mandate and capacity limits for bars and restaurants. Evers on Friday launched a television ad criticizing Republicans for inaction. President Donald Trump planned to hold a rally Saturday in the state.
