Trump in Pittsburgh, Great City Parks & Fetterman 'Shamed' Back to Work
from City Cast Pittsburgh · host City Cast
President Trump is expected in Pittsburgh today to tout a "planned partnership" between U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel. Host Megan Harris and executive producer Mallory Falk are joined by Axios Pittsburgh's Ryan Deto to share what we know about the agreement and what questions still need to be answered when Trump holds his "BIG rally" at U.S. Steel's Irvin Works in West Mifflin. They also discuss John Fetterman's claims that he's been "shamed" into showing up for Senate votes and hearings, dig into a new report on city parks, and explain why nurses at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital want to unionize. Plus, they debate whether Pittsburghers should race out to try Malört now that the polarizing liquor is available in PA.
