Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
One year after Donald Trump was elected president, Virginia Democrats held onto the state’s governor’s seat with Lieutenant Governor Ralph Northam besting Republican Ed Gillespie. The win was a landmark victory for Democrats in a statewide referendum against President Trump. The party also succeeded in the lieutenant governor, attorney general races, and managed to overturn several long-held GOP delegate seats. Kojo analyzes key moments out of this year’s race and takeaways from local contests that caught the attention of the entire country.
