Pelosi tells Democrats ‘it’s all riding on Wisconsin’

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV/AP) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Tony Evers, and former Attorney General Eric Holder are delivering a stark message to Wisconsin Democrats about what role the key battleground state will have in the presidential election.

Pelosi told Democrats during a virtual meeting Thursday that “it’s all riding on Wisconsin.” Pelosi and Holder emphasized the importance of the state in Joe Biden’s plans to deny President Donald Trump a second term.

Evers joined the breakfast as well, at one point holding up his meal: an Egg McMuffin. He argued that the former vice-president and California Senator would restore honesty, kindness, and compassion to the White House.

“Holy mackerel! I think we are going to elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to lead our country,” he predicted.

.@GovEvers is a big Egg McMuffin guy. He had one on Tuesday during the Wisconsin Democrats "virtual breakfast" too. Starting to wonder if it's part of his morning routine? @TheOtherMandela might know. pic.twitter.com/tnpFAXmbfq
