WAMC's Dr. Alan Chartock discusses an expected vote by House Democrats this week on changes to a 19th century law for certifying presidential elections and how recent federal investigations into former President Donald Trump and the reversal of Roe v. Wade could impact how Independent voters will vote this fall.

Dr. Chartock also considers whether interests rates will once again be raised and updates to the war in Ukraine.

Dr. Alan Chartock is professor emeritus at the University at Albany. He hosts the weekly Capitol Connection series, heard on public radio stations around New York. The program, for almost 12 years, highlighted interviews with Governor Mario Cuomo and now continues with conversations with state political leaders. Dr. Chartock also appears each week on The Media Project and The Roundtable and offers commentary on Morning Edition, weekdays at 7:40 a.m.
