In this episode, we speak with Gabe Eisner, a one-time Democrat who has become a Republican but is also an "undecided voter" in the 2020 election. It's unclear which way he will go and we probe what is motivating him this cycle.

Also, the 2020 Democratic Power Rankings. Who's doing well among the 15 declared candidates?

In this episode, Angela Greilling Keane of Politico discusses how some prominent states are moving ahead on issues such as medical marijuana, abortion, the minimum wage and sports betting. These developments are often at odds with the Trump White House.

The Nexus with Art Swift is a show devoted to the crossroads between politics, communications and culture. It is not "right" or "left" but finds the central point to explore a variety of topics and possibilities. We look at finding common ground, in an objective way.

In our debut episode, Eric Kowalczyk, former captain in the Baltimore Police Department and author of "The Politics of Crisis," discusses the Baltimore Riots of 2015, the case for police reform and how this issue will impact the 2020 Democratic presidential race.
