Progressive Democrats made a surprising splash in Florida’s Senate primary as state Rep. Angie Nixon beat Alex Vindman, setting up a tough general election against GOP Sen. Ashley Moody and signaling possible left-wing momentum in President Trump’s home state.
We will look at election results from Alaska as well, where Democrats think they may have a road to the Senate. In Wyoming, Megan Degenfelder becomes the 5th Trump-backed gubernatorial candidate to lose a primary this election cycle. It seems that having Trump's support isn't the key to winning anymore.
Guests today include John Rothmann. He is the host of the podcast "Around the Political World with John Rothmann" and a former KGO Radio host.
Belinda Waymouth joins us to talk about the environment. Our favorite eco-journalist brings the latest on efforts to drill for oil off the coast of California, but you will leave the show feeling hopeful as she always packs positive stories about our world too.
