Dr. Alan Chartock

WAMC's Dr. Alan Chartock discusses former President Donald Trump's upcoming impeachment trial, and an ABC News/Ipsos poll that says 56 percent of Americans believe Trump should be convicted and barred from ever again holding federal office. Dr. Chartock also considers whether Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer needs to take more chances to draw support from progressive Democrats. Also in the headlines: Fox Business has canceled "Lou Dobbs Tonight" after Dobbs was named in a $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit by Smartmatic. 

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.
