What the future holds for AZ political parties

More from this show

Chuck Coughlin, the Founder of HighGround, and Chris Herstam, a Democratic Political Analyst, discussed the future of their respective parties in terms of Arizona and the nation. Kelli Ward was selected as the leader of GOP in Arizona, despite her recent behavior and refusal to acknowledge that Trump lost the election. The Arizona Democrats picked Raquel Terán who is considered progressive. What does the future hold for the parties as they seem to drift away perhaps from their stalwart foundations? We discussed all this with Coughlin and Herstam.

We talked about what the Republican and Democratic party might look like in the near future. Hersham thinks statewide elections look good for the democrats in 2022. The democrats have a new chairman, Raquel Teran. Hersham introduced her and talks about who she is and what she is about. Coughlin talks about his thoughts on the voter turnout for the Democrats and if it will be able to continue.
