New Jersey's New Senator; Trump's New Jersey Surprise; Drought Watch; More Space to Pedestrians

On today's show:
- Andy Kim, U.S. representative and senator-elect (D NJ), talks about the election results and his plans for his move to the senate.
- Trump improved his margin among New Jersey voters on Tuesday, losing by only five points in what has been a staunchly blue state at the federal level for at least a generation. Matt Friedman, reporter for Politico New Jersey and author of the New Jersey Politico Playbook, reports on the shift and what it might mean for the state during the next four years.
- Much of New York State is experiencing moderate drought conditions after the driest October in recorded history. Samantha Maldonado, senior reporter for THE CITY, where she covers climate, resiliency, housing and development, explains the drought, what New Yorkers can do to conserve water and how the Adams administration is responding. And Michael Sol Warren, producer for NJ Spotlight News, shares the latest on the drought in New Jersey, where multiple wildfires are taking place.
- As the centennial series continues, Nicole Gelinas, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a contributing editor of City Journal, a columnist at the New York Post and the author of the new book, Movement: New York's Long War to Take Back Its Streets from the Car (Fordham Univ Press, 2024), talks about the history of cars in NYC, from road-building to the city's more recent efforts to make the city more pedestrian-friendly.
