Power & Politics - Full Show for Aug. 18
Just a couple months out from the midterm elections, support of President Trump will be one of the hot-button issues for voters. Here in New Jersey, lifelong Republican and former Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, called on the president to step down. Political reporter Katie Kyros speaks with Whitman about why she's taken this position, and also what she thinks of Gov. Phil Murphy's first eightmonths in office.
NJ Transit's executive director and the transportation commissioner spent more than three hours in a joint hearing this week, facing questions about dozens of last-minute cancellations and delays. Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean Jr. talks about the issue, plus his take on the Economic and Fiscal Policy Plan released last week.
Watch NJ Power & Politics Friday at 9 p.m., plus Saturdays and Sundays at 10 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Only on News 12 New Jersey.
