Episode 31: Party Lines and Playoff Time

IN THIS EPISODE Summer is here, and What's the Motion? is back with Episode 31. Virginia politics takes center stage as Governor Abigail Spanberger and State Senator Louise Lucas square off over a high-stakes budget battle ahead of the July 1 deadline. With issues like cannabis policy, collective bargaining, teacher pay, and the state's balanced budget on the line, we break down what's at stake and who holds the cards. We also take a look beyond the Commonwealth, discussing California's governor's race and the Maine Senate contest with Graham Platner. Plus, we tackle a bigger question: who really drives political power in America? Then we shift from politics to culture. We discuss the NBA Finals, check in on the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs, and react to the latest Jay-Z sighting. From Richmond to the national stage, from the hardwood to hip hop, What's the Motion? brings together the conversations shaping Virginia and beyond. Pull up and join us for another episode.
