A Political Roundtable On Trump's First 100 Days

KCUR 89.3

There have been some hits and some misses during President Donald Trump's first 100 days in office. One thing everyone agrees on is there has been no shortage of surprises. Today, we hear from a distinguished panel of political observers; ABC News analyst Matthew Dowd, Time magazine editor-at-large David Von Drehle, and Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial writer Colleen Nelson, of the Kansas City Star. They discuss the early days of the new executive administration.

Matthew Dowd will discuss his book 'A New Way: Embracing the Paradox as We Lead and Serve' at the Kansas City Public Library's Plaza Branch on Tuesday, May 2, at 6:30 p.m. For more information, go to KCLibrary.org.

David Von Drehle will give the keynote speech at the Mid-America Regional Council's 2017 regional assembly at the Westin Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center on Friday, June 9. Visit MARC.org for more information.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.

As culture editor, I help you embrace what makes Kansas City fun and vibrant, whether it’s a championship sports franchise or a little-known wonder. I work with reporters to ensure KCUR stories on art, culture, and race fully reflect our diverse home so readers and listeners can take full advantage of what the metro has to offer.
