Politics as Usual

None of that policy stuff in this week’s pod — it’s politics, politics, politics. We rehash the Democratic gubernatorial candidates’ trip to the farm show, and analyze what Jim Gerlach’s departure did for the GOP field.

The Gerlach withdrawal also shook up the 6th District’s Congressional race, where Gerlach is now defending his seat, after earlier promising to step down in order to focus on the gov primary. That, too, is discussed by the Allentown Morning Call’s John Micek, PLS/PoliticsPA’s Alex Roarty and myself.
