In this episode of the TRM Podcast, we sit down with Scholar at The University of Virginia Center for Politics and veteran political reporter, Jeff Shapiro, to reflect on his nearly 45 years covering Virginia politics. From his long tenure at the Richmond Times-Dispatch to his continuing commentary on public radio and and engagement as a Scholar at the University of Virginia, Shapiro brings a wealth of insight to a wide-ranging conversation that spans the reinvention of Virginia’s economy, the legacy of Jerry Connolly, the internal fractures within the Democratic Party, and the evolving role—and dysfunction—of political parties in American democracy. At once historical and timely, this discussion maps the deeper shifts behind today’s political turbulence. #VirginiaPolitics #JeffShapiro #DemocraticParty #JerryConnolly #AOC #PoliticalJournalism #Redistricting #PartyPolitics #AmericanDemocracy #TRMPodcast
