Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Independent voters have played a key role in many state primaries this election season. But some contests — including those in D.C. and Maryland– prevent independent voters from casting ballots in either the Democratic or Republican primary. This week, a member of the D.C. City Council unveiled a bill that would strike down that prohibition in the District. We look at the measure and consider how open and closed primaries affect outcomes around the country.
Guests
- David Catania D.C. Councilmember (I-At Large); Chairman of the Committee on Health
