Brewer speaks with WABI about presidential race, Wisconsin primary
Mark Brewer, a political science professor at the University of Maine, spoke with WABI (Channel 5) about the presidential race ahead of the April 5 primary in Wisconsin. Brewer said he thinks the Democrats are closer to having a nominee and “at this point Hillary Clinton seems to, if not have the nomination locked up, have a pretty tight grip on it.” However, for Republicans, Brewer said Wisconsin’s primary, in which the winner takes all the delegates, could be a possible game changer. “I mean right now still looking at it on paper is still Donald Trump becoming the Republican nominee. But I do think if he loses Wisconsin that makes the odds of him doing that even tougher,” Brewer said, adding that if no candidate has the necessary delegates to receive the Republican nomination, it would be decided at the GOP convention and could open the door for a candidate who’s not currently in the race.
