While the ripple effects of Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential election are only beginning to play out, which way Pennsylvania ultimately swings - Democrat or Republican - will be one of the biggest dominoes to drop. How will Vice President Kamala Harris being thrust into the race impact voting in the state, and what could her nomination mean for turnout in Philadelphia? A political science expert and local politicians weigh in.
We’ll also head to Delaware County to learn more about a historic swim club - the first in the country owned by African Americans - and how its past guides its mission in the present.
Plus, if you’ve ever lost a treasured possession or heirloom in the sprawling sands of the Jersey Shore, we’ve got a guy who might be able to help you find it.
Join Matt Leon and KYW Newsradio’s reporters as they dig into all of those stories and more of what happened in the Philadelphia region this week, including the start of Philadelphia Eagles training camp!
