Wisconsin is seen as a big test for GOP front-runner Donald Trump, especially after his controversial comments about abortion this week. He needs a win over rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich to further distance himself from the possibility of a contested convention.

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are battling for a win in Wisconsin as well, but they’ve also been campaigning in New York this week because that state is a huge prize in the Democratic race.

In this week’s political roundtable, Here & Now hosts Jeremy Hobson and Lisa Mullins are joined by Juana Summers of Mashable and Rebecca Sinderbrand of The Washington Post.
