California Gubernatorial Recall Election Today

Leslie begins today with her 'Ripped from the Headlines' news segment.  Here are the stories that she gave her take on:

1. NPR: "Senate Democrats Offer A New Voting Bill, But A GOP Filibuster Likely Blocks The Way"
2. AXIOS: "Pandemic-era stimulus lifted millions out of poverty, new government data shows"
3. Politico-Morning Consult poll: Majority support requiring employers with 100+ employees to mandate COVID vaccinations or weekly testing
4. WASHINGTON POST: "GOP condemnation of Biden coronavirus mandate fuels concern other vaccine requirements could be targeted"
5. CNN: "Woodward/Costa book: Worried Trump could 'go rogue,' Milley took top-secret action to protect nuclear weapons"

Leslie is then joined by Brad Bannon, who runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns.  

The two of them analyze today's California gubernatorial recall election.

You can hear Brad guest host for Leslie each Monday from 3-4pm ET with his own program, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon.'
