ListenGuests: Matt Friedman, Jim Rutenberg, and Russell Berman
In this week’s edition of Ballot Talks, our show on all things politics and elections-related, we look at three different stories in national politics. We’ll start off with MATT FRIEDMAN of The Star Ledger, who’ll discuss embattled New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez and the accusations swirling around him. Then, we take a look at the likely GOP presidential candidates and how they are staking out their positions with JIM RUTENBERG, chief political correspondent for The New York Times Magazine. We’ll round out the hour with RUSSELL BERMAN of The Atlantic who’ll bring us up to speed on the status of Loretta Lynch’s nomination for Attorney General.
