It’s the Friday news roundup! Election Day is around the corner, so City Cast Philly host Trenae Nuri is breaking down some of the biggest statewide races with the help of City Cast Pittsburgh host Morgan Moody. Looking to move past the ridiculous campaign ads, cut through the misinformation, and get down to where the candidates actual stand on important issues? We’ve got you covered.
