Today on Boston Public Radio: Rufus Gifford, deputy campaign manager for President-elect Joe Biden, discussed Biden’s weekend victory, and reflected on the president-elect's message of unity in the face of a concession refusal from President Trump.  Next, we opened our lines to hear your thoughts on Joe Biden’s presidential victory, after days of election uncertainty.  Charlie Chieppo and Shannon O’Brien returned to the show for a politics roundtable, discussing Joe Biden’s victory and President Trump’s repeated allegations of wide-scale voter fraud. Chieppo is principal of Chieppo Strategies, a senior fellow at the Pioneer Institute, and Adjunct professor at Suffolk University. O’Brien is former state treasurer and Democratic nominee for governor of Mass. Jonathan Alter discussed the lasting impact of former President Jimmy Carter, in a conversation about his new biography, “His Very Best: Jimmy Carter, a Life." Reverends Irene Monroe and Emmett Price, hosts of GBH’s All Rev’d Up podcast, talked about the challenge for President-elect Joe Biden in unifying a deeply divided America, and discussed the racial breakdowns of the American electorate. 

GBH News analyst and GroundTruth Project Charlie Sennott talked about the impact of President-elect Joe Biden’s presidential win on America’s role on the world stage, and the hesitation from autocratic world leaders like Vladimir Putin and Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in acknowledging his victory. TV guru Bob Thompson remembered the widely beloved “Jeopardy” host Alex Trebek, who died on Sunday.  We closed our show by reopening lines to talk with listeners about the outcome of the 2020 election.
