单集简介 ...

More women than men have voted in every election in Maine in the last decade, and women are a key reason Republican Sen. Susan Collins won reelection six years ago. We discuss how Collins and Democrat Troy Jackson are trying to win the support of women voters in that state’s Senate race, plus what Tuesday’s primaries could reveal about the fight between progressive and establishment Democrats. This episode: political correspondent Ashley Lopez, political reporter Elena Moore, and senior political correspondent Tamara Keith. This podcast was produced by Casey Morell and Bria Suggs, and edited by Rachel Baye. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
