Maria and Julio are joined by Anthony Orozco, a journalist who just wrapped up his time as the Latino communities reporter for WITF, and Rachel Leingang, writer of Arizona Agenda on Substack, for a hyperlocal conversation about the 2022 midterms in Pennsylvania and Arizona. They unpack key races in both states and discuss how progressivism will impact state politics going forward. 

ITT Staff Picks: 

• In the latest Arizona Agenda piece, Rachel Leingang and Hank Stephenson break down what lessons Democrats and Republicans can learn from the midterms. 

• Julia Terruso and Kasturi Pananjady break down John Fetterman’s win and how the Pennsylvania Democrat made gains across Pittsburgh’s suburbs, for The Philadelphia Inquirer. 

• “The heroes of the 2022 midterm elections were Democratic voters and activists, not the party’s leadership,” writes Perry Bacon Jr., in this piece for the Washington Post.
