WUNCPolitics Podcast: A Surprise Resignation? Probably The Media's Fault

WUNC

Today on the WUNCPolitics Podcast: Rep. Mike Hager, House Majority Leader from Rutherford County, announced over the weekend that he was resigning his seat. Why? And what does it mean moving forward?

The two major-party candidates for governor set a date for a debate - and it's likely to be the only one between now and election day.

And is everything in politics and campaigning the media's fault? Sure seems like it, if you listen to certain candidates.

Host Dave DeWitt and Capitol Bureau Chief Jeff Tiberii discuss these topics and more.
