Midterms Preview: New Jersey and Beyond

Nancy Solomon, managing editor of New Jersey Public Radio, previews the contested races in the upcoming midterm elections for Congress and Senate in New Jersey, and Kai Wright, editor and host of WNYC’s narrative unit, host of podcasts United States of Anxiety and There Goes the Neighborhood and a columnist for The Nation magazine, discusses the midterm elections in the context of gender, MeToo, Brett Kavanaugh and the intersection of the patriarchy and white supremacy -- all of which is tackled in the new season of the United States of Anxiety podcast.

In New Jersey congressional races, @NancySolomon2 says: "The level of engagement and activism among middle-aged, middle class, educated white women in these two districts, the 7th and the 11th, is like nothing I have ever seen in my career as a reporter in 30 years."
