Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
During the past two decades, Virginia’s political identity has shifted from solidly “red” to surprisingly “purple.” And the Commonwealth is expected to play a pivotal role in this year’s presidential election. But some observers worry about how the partisan madness of the presidential campaign will affect civility in Virginia’s political culture. We look at a program that aims to maintain bipartisanship in the Commonwealth by taking legislators back to school.
