The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 23, 2022
Coming up on today's show:
- As callers share their choices in our unofficial, thoroughly unscientific exit poll, Jon Campbell, Albany reporter for WNYC/Gothamist, and then Brigid Bergin, WNYC's senior political correspondent, join to break down what they're hearing and seeing at the voting polls.
- On July 19th, Jersey City Councilwoman Amy DeGise's black SUV was caught on surveillance camera driving away after hitting a bicyclist. Nancy Solomon, WNYC reporter and editor, host of the “Ask Governor Murphy” monthly call-in show and of the new podcast Dead End: A New Jersey Political Murder Mystery, joins to discuss the latest news regarding the hit-and-run, including calls for DeGise's resignation and why Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop has not weighed in yet.
- Lori Rozsa, reporter covering Florida for The Washington Post, drops in to give an overview on the midterm primary races happening in Florida, plus listener exit polls and calls about Florida’s primary races.
- All week, The Brian Lehrer Show will take calls from teachers about the challenges they are anticipating ahead of the school year. Today, science teachers call in to share the pressure they feel about how to teach climate change in students of different age groups.
