Starting Sept. 6, 2022
First launched in August 2016, three months before the election of Donald Trump, “The Run-Up” is back.
Through conversations with colleagues, newsmakers and voters across the country, Astead Herndon will grapple with the big ideas animating the 2022 midterm election cycle — and explore how we got to this fraught moment in American politics.
Elections are about more than who wins and who loses. “The Run-Up” starts Sept. 6. See you there.
