Pa. primary election results and analysis
Listen 49:24
Guests: Dave Davies, Chris Borick, Chris Potter
2018 is a particularly fascinating year for primary elections for a variety of reasons, particularly in Pennsylvania. The results will determine the direction each party will move towards leading into this Fall’s general election – both on the local and national stage. Today, we’ll talk about the results of the primaries for U.S. Congress, State House, Governor and more. Our guests will discuss what the results indicate about the state’s voters, the implications for the respective political parties, and look toward to the general election. Our guests are WHYY’s DAVE DAVIES, WESA’s CHRIS POTTER, and Muhlenberg professor of political science, CHRIS BORICK.
