A recent Philadelphia Inquirer/New York Times/Sienna poll reveals a neck-and-neck race between Biden and Trump in Pennsylvania. The Inquirer’s national politics reporter Julia Terruso joins us to discuss the findings.
Beach enthusiasts are making their way to the shore as the temperatures are climbing.

The pressing question arises: How will the region address the challenges posed by the rising seas? We talk with Rutgers University climate and sea level scientist Robert Kopp.
