Harris/Trump Tied, $1 Billion on Ads & A Celebrity Surge
It’s the Friday News Roundup! All eyes have been on Pennsylvania – perhaps the most important swing state in the presidential election. Here in Philly, we haven’t had this much influence since the Founding Fathers met up in Independence Hall. Host Trenae Nuri is joined by Matt Katz, executive producer of City Cast Philly, and Julia Terruso, political reporter at The Philadelphia Inquirer, to break down the last days of this polarizing election and how Philly may hold the deciding votes. They discuss how Harris and Trump are basically tied, which celebrities are coming to town, and what’s happening on the campaign trail this weekend.
Our Friday news roundups are powered by great journalism:
- Vice President Kamala Harris will hold an election eve rally in front of Philadelphia Museum of Art
- Harris and Trump are navigating Pennsylvania’s gender gap with bro podcasts and ladies’ room Post-its
- Bruce Springsteen and Barack Obama exhort Philly supporters to get out and vote for Kamala Harris
- The Interview: John Fetterman Fears Trump is Stronger Than Ever
