Show Notes
It's just about a week until the election, and Michigan is a battleground state. On today's Daily Detroit, we put a mostly local lens to the political conversation.
Joining us is Steve Friess, freelance journalist for the New York Times, Newsweek and many others. He also writes the weekly newsletter for the Ann Arbor Observer.
The rundown:
01:48 - We talking about the newspaper endorsements that didn't happen at the Washington Post and New York Times, and Steve's worries about journalists and free speech
09:16 - Another Democratuc local Muslim mayor endorses Trump, this time from Dearborn Heights. We discuss.
15:33 - We're not super into polling, but it looks like Slotkin has stayed ahead of Rogers in the U.S. Senate Race. We also think Slotkin will outpace Harris in votes.
18:59 - Democrats Rally in Ann Arbor this week
22:07 - Most people don't got to political rallies, so Steve went to the rally featuring Eminem and former president Barack Obama and shares his thoughts
34:06 - Should Harris have done Joe Rogan? And the rise of podcasting
36:58 - Some context on Steve's podcasting history and interest in local content
