Welcome to your Daily Detroit for Wednesday, August 7, 2024.
In this episode, Jer and Norris dive into the crucial races, including Elissa Slotkin's dominant performance in the US Senate primary, Hill Harper's missed bid (and which race he could have won).
They discuss the implications of these results on the political landscape, particularly the need for new leadership and deeper community engagement. How changing demographics mean you can't just show up and assume a demographic is going to show up for you.
They also touch on the broader national scene, analyzing Vice President Kamala Harris's potential to energize voter turnout and the strategic significance. The conversation extends to the evolving dynamics within the Republican Party and the importance of relatable, grounded candidates like Tim Walz.
Join Jer and Norris as they provide insightful commentary on the changing face of politics, both locally and nationally, and what it might mean for Detroit's future.
