The Politics Behind the State Party Conventions

The Brian Lehrer Show | May 21, 2018

Errol Louis, political anchor of NY1 News and host of Inside City Hall, untangles the news from this week's state party conventions and other state and local politics.  The Democratic and Republican parties meet this week.  The Working Families Party concluded their convention this weekend, endorsing Cynthia Nixon for governor and leaving room for either Letitia James or Zephyr Teachout to run for Attorney General on their party line.  Louis says of a much-speculated Preet Bharara run for A.G. despite his distaste for political machinations, "I wouldn't be at all surprised if he decides that this is not the right time or the right job."
