All the President's Election Lawsuits; NYC's School Buildings Shutdown; Nassau County Executive; How to Have a Solo Thanksgiving
The Brian Lehrer Show | Nov 19, 2020
Coming up on today's show.
- Rebecca Green, professor of law at William & Mary and co-director of its Election Law Program, gives an update on the president's attempts to overturn the results of the election by filing (what most legal experts say are baseless) lawsuits.
- Mayor Bill de Blasio recently announced that school buildings will close citywide starting November 19th. WNYC education reporter Jessica Gould and Brigid Bergin, WNYC City Hall and politics reporter, break down the latest.
- Nassau County executive Laura Curran talks about Nassau County's COVID response, how it's dealing with rising case numbers and some presidential political analysis.
- As COVID cases rise, more and more people are making the decision to sit Thanksgiving out this year, or seriously downsize with just immediate family members. Melissa Clark, New York Times food columnist and author of many cookbooks including Kid in the Kitchen: 100 Recipes and Tips for Young Home Cooks: A Cookbook (Clarkson Potter, November 10, 2020), and Anna Goldfarb, reporter for The New York Times and author of Clearly, I Didn't Think This Through: The Story of One Tall Girl's Impulsive, Ill-Conceived, and Borderline Irresponsible Life Decisions (Berkley November 6, 2012), answer your questions on how to spend this day, and how to cook for it.
