Episode 31: Exit Stage Far Right
5/16/18 -- Pastor turned politician Scott Lively surprised some in the GOP establishment when he secured a spot on the ballot for the Republican gubernatorial primary. WGBH reporter and co-host of The Scrum Adam Reilly digs into who Lively is, and how he plans to cover the candidate.
Then we look west with the Springfield Republican’s Shannon Young to check in on the primary challenge to Congressman Richard Neal (MA-1). Plus POLITICO’s Steve Shepard and our co-host Steve Koczela get their nerd on explaining a new experiment in exit polls.
This episode is sponsored by the Massachusetts Business Round Table.
