Republicans sweeping the elections on Tuesday could have significant implications for Rhode Islanders. With control of the White House, Senate, and possibly the House, what might this mean for the state? Political reporter Ian Donnis and political scientist Wendy Schiller discuss this and other takeaways from the elections. In addition, a group of students from Johnson & Wales University share their thoughts on the election results.
On a lighter note, the Rhode Island Philharmonic has announced a new music director, Ruth Reinhardt. While she won’t officially take her seat until early next year, she will be conducting the orchestra in a concert this weekend.
Listeners are encouraged to share their questions and thoughts about what comes next post-election by calling 401-373-1965 or filling out a form. This input will help inform future coverage from The Public’s Radio.
