Episode Details

It’s the Friday News Roundup! If you’ve recently tuned out all the election drama, we’ve got you covered. Since the race for president is now centered on Pennsylvania, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris – and Elon Musk! – have been campaigning in and around Philly. Our city might be the most significant in the country when it comes to determining who moves into the White House, but there are new complaints that the Harris operation isn’t properly organized and Trump is making inroads with Black and blue-collar voters. Host Trenae Nuri is joined by Matt Katz, City Cast Philly executive producer, and Asha Prihar, Hey Philly newsletter editor. 

Our Friday news roundups are powered by great local and national journalism:
