Boas: Arizona Isn't An Election Bellwether — Yet

Phil Boas
Arizona Republic

The Show regularly checks in with Editorial Board of the Arizona Republic to talk about the big issues facing the state and the region — featured in the newspaper’s Viewpoints section.

The Democratic presidential candidates engaged in a pair of debates last week, as the early process continues to chisel down to a smaller number to determine who will face off against President Donald Trump in 2020.

Only two Democratic nominees since World War II have won Arizona in the general election — Harry Truman and Bill Clinton. In a column published over the weekend in the Republic, former Arizona Democratic gubernatorial nominee Fred DuVal weighed in on what a Democrat would have to do to win in Arizona.

Phil Boas, editorial director of the Arizona Republic, joined The Show for his weekly appearance to talk about that.

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
