State politics are changing as we focus more on national politics

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.

GUESTS:

• Paul Bass: Editor of the New Haven Independent
• Ryan Enos: Director for the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard University
• Daniel Hopkins: Author of The Increasingly United States: How and Why American Political Behavior Nationalized
• Meghan Rubado: Associate professor in the Levin School of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University
