Joan Esposito is joined by John Parker, co-host of “The Gaily Show,” weeknights at 10:00 Central on WCPT, along with Jim Pounds, executive producer and co-host of “The Gaily Show.”
The discussion covered Minnesota election races, voter concerns, and uncertainty about polling ahead of election day.
- Parker described Democratic candidate Brian Cohn’s race in a district south of the Twin Cities as a potential opportunity for Democrats to regain control of the tied Minnesota House.
- Voters are focused on gas prices, health care, and housing affordability
- A recent poll showed Amy Klobuchar up nine points in her race to become Minnesota governor, and Attorney General Keith Ellison up eight in his bid for re-election; Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan was tied with Republican Michele Tafoya in the U.S. Senate contest.
