Josh Durso and Jackie Augustine discuss what follows the midterm elections on this week’s Debrief: delivering on campaign promises, rebuilding political parties and turning voter frustration into local involvement.
The conversation examines Democrats’ next steps, where Republicans go from here and whether social media gives a misleading picture of the electorate. They also consider a listener’s question about whether Upstate New York missed the national shift, with a closer look at local margins and party organization.
Closer to home, they discuss proposed changes to oversight of Geneva’s city comptroller, concerns about the pace of charter changes and a public comment questioning AI use in city government.
