Political Analyst Discusses Dem Successes, Trump’s Future
Hutchinson expects former president to be indicted
The news has been full of political milestones, with the Dems keeping the Senate in the mid-terms, Karen Bass defeating billionaire Rick Caruso in the Los Angeles mayor’s race and Sen. Raphael Warnock defeating Herschel Walker in Georgia. I talked to veteran political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson to dig deeper into these issues. Here is my conversation.
Otiko: Were you surprised how close the Raphael Warnock-Herschel Warner race was in Georgia?
Hutchinson: No, Georgia at the state level is still a deep red state. Every major down-ballot state office is held by the GOP. So, it wouldn’t much matter whom the GOP nominated, even a nightmare of a candidate like Walker. They were guaranteed to do well.
Otiko: You accurately predicted that Karen Bass would win the Los Angeles mayor’s race. She did. How did she beat Rick Caruso and his billions?
