Show Notes
This week, Eric Adams was projected to be the winner of the Democratic primary for New York City Mayor (and most likely the Big Apple’s next mayor). Adams’ victory may be a road map for Democrats on the national stage on how to balance the debate over police reform. We discuss Adams’ victory and his uncertain path to the nomination.
Then, what’s next in the fight against COVID-19? President Joe Biden’s goal of having 70% of Americans vaccinated against the virus fell short. With a large proportion of Americans hesitant to get the shot, will the nation ever reach that milestone? We pick up that discussion.
And, it’s a controversial blast from the past! Hear Lee’s “fun fact” on this week’s Poll Hub. (Guess we were in a New York City kind of mood.)
About Poll Hub
