Politics: Boston City Council, Kentucky's First Black Attorney General and Ayanna Pressley Endorses Elizabeth Warren

The November 5th elections brought brisk winds of change across the country, including here in Boston. Voters upended an old political dynamic and embraced a historic slate of women and people of color. Also, everybody wins in Kentucky: Democrats narrowly claimed the governorship and Republicans elected the state’s first black attorney general. Plus, Senator Elizabeth Warren scores a key presidential endorsement from fellow Massachusetts lawmaker, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley.

We discuss these stories and more during our full hour conversation with three contributors to the Mass Politics Profs blog.

Guests:
