US Politics: The View from Western Pennsylvania

On this edition of Encounter, host Carol Castiel returns to her native Pennsylvania to reprise a conversation with the Republican and Democratic leaders in Lawrence County: Paul Stefano, chairman of the Democratic Party of Lawrence County, and Richard Flannery, a local and state Republican leader, whom she interviewed prior to the 2020 elections. They discuss President Joe Biden’s job performance – from his management of the Covid-19 pandemic and vaccine distribution to infrastructure proposals and prospects for the Democrats and Republicans in the 2022 midterm elections.
