  • What set the stage for a Republican sweep, a Dem failure this election?

    What set the stage for a Republican sweep, a Dem failure this election?
    Nov 14 2024
    A little over a week after Election Day, Democrats are still hoping to narrow the Republican majority in the House, as they start to do autopsies on how they lost the presidential campaign. For more on this, KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern, along with KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart, spoke with Christine Pelosi of San Francisco. Among the many hats she wears, Pelosi is a longtime party activist and political strategist, leader of the Women’s Caucus, and member of the Democratic National Committee.

  • CA voters have rejected Prop 6, but proponents are not derailed

    CA voters have rejected Prop 6, but proponents are not derailed
    Nov 13 2024
    This is “The State, Of California”, hosted by KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern, along with KCBS Radio news anchor Patti Reising. California voters rejected Proposition 6, which would have banned slave labor in the state’s prisons. The ballot measure lost by about seven percent, even though a similar one passed in Nevada by 20 points. Prop 6 would have outlawed slavery in California and gotten rid of the practice of forcing inmates to work, in involuntary servitude. Inmates would still have been able to work behind bars, but they would not have been able to be forced to do jobs against their will, and for little or no money. Prop 6 lost, even though there was no organized opposition or campaign against it. For more on this, Doug and Patti spoke with Carmen-Nicole Cox, an attorney with ACLU California Action. Among other things, she has been a Deputy DA in San Joaquin County, Deputy Legal Affairs Secretary for Governor Jerry Brown, and she is an Adjunct Professor at the McGeorge School of Law at the University of the Pacific.

  • As Trump fills Cabinet, Dems tend to their bruises, look to the future

    As Trump fills Cabinet, Dems tend to their bruises, look to the future
    Nov 12 2024
    President-elect Donald Trump is wasting no time beginning the transition, with controversial choices, including Senator Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, former Governor Mike Huckabee as his Ambassador to Israel, and former ICE chief Tom Homan as his “border czar,” which is a position that doesn’t officially exist. Meanwhile, Democrats have flipped one swing House seat in California and they’re still hoping to win a couple more, but it seems extremely likely that the Republicans will hold the House with a net gain of perhaps two or three seats, giving them complete control of all the branches of the federal government. Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco, though, insists this was not the sweeping rebuke of the Democrats that many across the country think. More on today's State of California, hosted by KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern, along with KCBS news anchor Patti Reising.
