The Show regularly checks in with the Republic’s editorial board to talk about current issues facing the state and the region — featured in columns on the newspaper’s op-ed pages.
One of the storylines coming out of the midterm elections so far is that candidates endorsed by former President Donald Trump have not had the kind of success they — or he — were hoping for.
Candidates in states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin have lost to their Democratic opponents; that’s played out so far in Arizona, as well, with Trump-endorsed Blake Masters and Mark Finchem both losing their races while other contests are still too close to call.
The Show spoke about this with Elvia Díaz, editorial page editor of the Arizona Republic, and started the conversation by asking her how she looks at the so-called "Trump effect" in Arizona, relative to other places across the country.
