Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Washington, DC bus shelter
In what was a good day for incumbents, Washingtonians went to the polls on Tuesday to vote for primary candidates for D.C. Council, Council Chair, Mayor and non-voting Congressperson and Shadow Senator. Initiative 77, a contentious measure to raise the minimum wage for tipped workers, was also on the ballot, and it was passed by voters. We take a look at the election results and the low turnout numbers, look forward to the general election in November and explore where the local results fit into national trends.
