Will Pennsylvania be red or blue in 2020? Former Governor Ed Rendell gives his take.

June 22, 2019

Perhaps no one is better at understanding Pennsylvania voters than former Governor Ed Rendell. He served as governor from 2003 to 2011 and was also the mayor of Philadelphia. Gov. Rendell sits down with Soledad and has some advice for Democrats hoping to flip Pennsylvania from blue to red next year: “get ready for the fight of your life.” He also explains why progressive Democratic candidates could have a hard time selling their message in Pennsylvania.
