What might decide Michigan? // What is social media in politics good for? (ft. Steve Friess)

Daily Detroit

Joining me as he does every Monday going into the Election, veteran journalist Steve Friess. He's written for the New York Times, Newsweek and many others. He currently writes the weekly newsletter for the Ann Arbor Observer.

Here are some of the topics we cover today:

Controversy in the Senate Race: We delve into the latest controversy surrounding Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers and his questionable residency claims. With voter fraud and election integrity at the forefront, this issue raises eyebrows as the race against Elissa Slotkin heats up. We encourage you to read the original report in the Freep so you can check out the source material to what we discussed.

Campaign Dynamics: The conversation shifts to the strategies of the Harris campaign and the importance of addressing key voter concerns, especially the 100,000 uncommitted votes from the primary and if they mostly stay home.

We tackle a listener question about the evolving role of social media in politics. They're turned off by politics on social media, and we talk about what it can be good for, and where it's not as strong.

Our Happy Hour is back! We're celebrating over 1500 episodes at The Congregation in Detroit. Join us on October 17th, 2024, from 4pm onwards. Tickets are free, but please RSVP on Eventbrite.
