Politics Friday: The race to lead the Minnesota Legislature

vendredi 25 octobre 2024 • Durée 50:31

Presidential election years can make for unpredictable outcomes down the ballot.

For Minnesota, the party turns out its base — and connects with independents best — has the inside track to gain the gavels at the state’s Capitol.

The Senate majority will be decided by a single, winner-take-all race in the western suburbs. As for the House, key races in northern Minnesota and some in the south could determine if the DFL trifecta will live on into 2025.

MPR News politics editor Brian Bakst talks with House speaker Melissa Hortman, a Democrat and House minority leader Lisa Demuth, a Republican, about their party’s prospects in next month’s election.

Later, a look at a northern Minnesota congressional race that features a rematch from two years ago.

Guests:

House speaker Melissa Hortman, DFL-Brooklyn Park

House minority leader Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring

Jennifer Schultz, a DFL candidate for Minnesota’s 8th Congressional District seat.

Politics Friday: The 2024 election will determine who presides in Minnesota courtrooms, remember there are judges on your ballot

vendredi 18 octobre 2024 • Durée 49:59

With fewer than three weeks left until Election Day, campaign ads for the presidency down to the Legislature have flooded the airwaves from your TV to your phone.

But judges are on the election ballot, too. Judicial candidates are running for judgeships in local District Courts, the Court of Appeals and even the Minnesota Supreme Court. There are 100 races, although fewer than a tenth of them have multiple candidates to choose from.

Most judges in Minnesota tend to be appointed by the governor, so why are those races on your ballot?

Friday at noon, MPR News politics editor and his guests discuss judicial elections, and why incumbent judges rarely face serious challenges.

Later, is the approaching election and partisan politics raising anxiety or straining your relationships? The creator of MPR’s Talking Sense initiative shares tips on how to weather the remaining weeks and the aftermath. Then, a sneak peek at the Walk a Mile in My News project.

Guests:

Samuel Edmunds is the president of the Minnesota State Bar Association and a partner at Sieben Edmunds Miller, focusing on criminal defense and injury law.

Douglas Keith is a senior counsel in the Brennan Center’s Judiciary Program and the founding editor of State Court Report, a publication focused on state courts and state constitutional law.

Catharine Richert is an MPR News reporter and lead correspondent.

Battle to shore up bases remains as Election Day nears

vendredi 11 octobre 2024 • Durée 44:41

Earlier this week marked one year since Hamas attacked Israel. Hamas militants invaded Israel, killed about 1,200 people and kidnapped another 250 people, making it the deadliest attack in Israel’s history. About 100 hostages have not been returned. Israel’s retaliation in Gaza has killed more than 41,000 people and wounded more than 96,000, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, and resulted in mass displacement and a humanitarian crisis.

As the war in the Middle East continues with no immediate cease-fire deal in sight, the situation will pose difficulties for the next U.S. president. Jon Alterman, author of the piece “Middle East Challenges Will Vex Not Only the First 100 Days but the First 1,000,” sums up the complex challenges that await. It’s part of a new report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies on the global impact of the 2024 election, where Alterman serves as the senior vice president. He also directs the Middle East Program.

MPR News politics editor Brian Bakst talks with Alterman about the dynamics in the Middle East and where the leading presidential candidates line up. Later, a peer-led, follow-up conversation with two Generation Z voters about their feelings toward the election after a summer of unprecedented political events.

Minnesota’s most competitive race for Congress is expected to be in the 2nd Congressional District, which includes suburban, exurban and rural areas south of the Twin Cities.

Three-term Democratic Rep. Angie Craig is trying to retain the seat. She’ll face former federal prosecutor and Republican nominee Joe Teirab on November’s ballot.

Politics Friday: What to watch for with political ads on the way

jeudi 12 septembre 2024 • Durée 59:00

The newest member of Minnesota’s congressional delegation, Republican Rep. Brad Finstad, is asking voters for a second term in district one. Democrat Rachel Bohman is asking those same southern Minnesota voters to give her the job instead.

Bohman, a lawyer and former local board official who has a background in election administration, is looking to flip a seat that has been held by Republicans since 2019.

What does she stand for and why should voters go in a new direction? MPR News politics editor and host Brian Bakst talks with Bohman about her campaign. Finstad declined an invitation to appear.

Later, we’ll discuss campaign ads with associate professor Dan Myers of the University of Minnesota’s Department of Political Science.

Hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent nationally between now and Election Day on television and digital commercials, although Minnesota has had a light dose so far.

Guests:

Rachel Bohman is the DFL candidate for the Congressional District 1

Dan Myers is an associate professor at the University of Minnesota.

Politics Friday: Minnesota’s Senate race is a study in contrast

vendredi 6 septembre 2024 • Durée 59:37

The Minnesota State Fair has ended. The 12-day event brought out long lines for fried food, a butter sculpting competition and U.S. Senate candidates looking to represent the state in the nation’s Capital.

There have been 44 people in Minnesota who have held the title of U.S. senator since statehood, but only seven have been elected to three or more terms. Minnesota has a U.S. Senate election now just a couple of months away, and Democrat Amy Klobuchar is after a fourth term.

MPR News host Brian Bakst talks with Sen. Klobuchar at the State Fair. She shares what she’s been up to in Washington and what she would do if given another six years.

Later, we’ll hear from Republican nominee Royce White, who is running on the slogan “the people are coming.” White talks about his path to politics after time spent in professional basketball — in the U.S. and abroad — and his conservative ideology.

Guests:

DFL U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar

U.S. Senate Republican nominee Royce White

Special coverage: Walz picked to run as Harris’ vice presidential candidate

mardi 6 août 2024 • Durée 02:01:26

Tim Walz, the second-term Minnesota governor with a folksy demeanor and a swath of experience both in and out of government, gained a spot on the Democratic ticket as Kamala Harris’ vice presidential choice.

Supporters of Gov. Walz say the ex-Army National Guard leader, former teacher and past congressman could help Harris in the Midwest. But he also comes with baggage from nearly two decades in political office.

Listen to special coverage live from MPR News with host Cathy Wurzer and political editor Brian Bakst.

Clifford Bentley served as technical director for this special coverage.
