In two years, a new face (but perhaps a familiar name) will occupy the White House.

Roughly 534 Republicans are running for president in 2016, but is anyone other than Hillary Clinton running for the Democrats? Do some Democrats actually want another choice? Our political analyst and Salon columnist Bill Curry joins us in The Wheelhouse, our weekly news roundtable. We’ll also consider Governor Malloy’s new "second chance society" and a Quinnipiac panel on race and justice in America.

GUESTS:

  • Colin McEnroe - Host of The Colin McEnroe Show on WNPR
  • Bill Curry - Columnist for Salon and former Democratic nominee for governor
  • Jeff Cohen - WNPR's capital region reporter
  • Don Sawyer - Assistant professor of sociology at Quinnipiac University
  • Meghan Barr - Reporter covering transportation for the Associated Press

Lydia Brown, Tucker Ives, and Chion Wolf contributed to this show.
