What the Ohio vote could mean for 2024

River to River, hosted by Ben Kieffer

Political scientists discuss state and national issues, including Issue 1 in Ohio, SCOTUS arguments regarding "ghost guns" and more.

On River to River, political analysts Chris Larimer and Karen Kedrowski join host Ben Kieffer to discuss Ohio's vote against Issue 1 Tuesday, which is being seen by many as a win for abortion-rights supporters.

Plus the Iowa law that bans books depicting sexual acts in schools across the state. And the Iowa State Fair is expected to include a lineup of Republican presidential candidates, including Ron Desantis and former president Donald Trump.

Also this hour: SCOTUS voted to temporarily revive Biden's "ghost guns" legislation and Trump's lawyer reacted to his second indictment.

Guests:

  • Chris Larimer, professor of political science, program coordinator with the master of public policy program, University of Northern Iowa
  • Karen Kedrowski, professor of political science, director of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics, Iowa State University
