Today on Boston Public Radio:
We opened Wednesday’s show by turning to callers, to hear your thoughts on Tuesday’s presidential election.
Rosa Brooks talked about her work over the summer with the Transition Integrity Project, and weighed in on how Tuesday’s results compare with some of the exercise's worst-case scenarios. Brooks is the co-organizer of the Transition Integrity Project, a former Pentagon official under the Obama administration, and the Scott K. Ginsburg professor of law and policy at Georgetown University Law Center. Her forthcoming book is “Tangled Up in Blue: Policing the American City.”
Juliette Kayyem gave her analysis of Tuesday’s election results and explained why she expects former Vice President Joe Biden will breach 270 electoral votes before the end of the week. Kayyem is an analyst for CNN, former assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, and faculty chair of the homeland security program at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government.
EJ Dionne talked about what we can gauge from the tallied votes of Tuesday’s election, with respect to both the White House and the Senate. He also discussed the road ahead on issues like climate change, racial equity, and political division in the U.S. Dionne is a columnist for the Washington Post and a senior fellow at The Brookings Institution.
Closing out our final hour, we opened our lines to hear your thoughts on everything related to election 2020.
