Protesters gather at the Connecticut State Capitol, April 27, 2021.

State politics are becoming increasingly nationalized as voters, and candidates, focus more on national issues, instead of local ones.

This hour, we look at the impact of this nationalization, and we discuss how the loss of local news has impacted our awareness of state politics.

Finally, how Americans have become increasingly politically segregated.
