  • We’ll talk to the president of the AFL-CIO about why the labor group decided to endorse Andrew Cuomo., which caused something of a rift with the unions that are under the organization’s umbrella.
  • Plus, Green party candidate for governor Howie Hawkins stops by as well as the reporters of the roundtable, who will help us break down all the big headlines of the week.

We’ll be joined by Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries as well as the writer and director of the documentary, Gerrymandering, Jeff Reichert, who will have plenty more examples of the situations similar to what happened to Jeffries.
