With Trump Targeting Cities, Conor Lamb Has Some Advice for Fellow Dems
Democrats in Philly keep searching for ways to push back against President Trump and the policies that they say harm our city.

On today’s show host Trenae Nuri teams up with City Cast Pittsburgh host Megan Harris to talk to Lamb about how he thinks local Democrats should be responding to federal policies right now, and what he’s hearing from Pennsylvanians as he goes around the state hosting town hall meetings. And: Will he run again?
