Today on Boston Public Radio: Rep. Jim McGovern talked about his Tuesday reelection win against Republican challenger Tracy Lovvorn, who happens a QAnon conspiracy theory proponent. He also touched on the future of further COVID relief, and the food insecurity crisis afflicting the U.S. 

NBC Sports Boston reporter and anchor Trenni Kusnierek discussed the return of Red Sox manager Alex Cora, following his sign-stealing scandal, the Patriots’ Monday night win over the New York Jets, and the achievement of Chris Nikic, who became the first person with Down’s syndrome to complete an Ironman. 

We opened lines to talk with listeners about President Trump’s refusal to concede defeat to President-elect Biden, and the support his messaging his getting from GOP congressional leaders.  Ali Noorani, President & CEO of the National Immigration Forum, talked about the impact of President Trump’s immigration policies on the decision of voters in last Tuesday’s Presidential election, and why Latinx Americans went for Trump at higher rates than most pollsters expected.  Food writer Corby Kummer talked about the impact of Gov. Charlie Baker’s latest coronavirus restrictions on restaurants in Mass., and a new Trump administration rule freezing wages for immigrant farm workers in the U.S. He also weighed in on the tantalizing prospect of turkey dinner-flavored candy corn. 

CNN’s John King talked about his whirlwind election week performance on CNN, and discussed Republican attempts to litigate Joe Biden’s victory.

We closed Tuesday’s show by returning to listeners to discuss all things election 2020.
