Rust Belt Politics in Election Year, Minnesotan POV on Tim Walz as Governor & more w/ Dennis Sanders

Heard Tell

Your Heard Tell Show is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking with our friend, writer, podcaster, and pastor from the great state of Minnesota Dennis Sanders about Rust Belt politics, the changing electorate of the midwest, history and economic factors that drive voters, and sorting out political assumptions and buzzwords from the people that are living and voting in the Midwest of America. Plus, we get Dennis's first-hand accounts of how Tim Walz performed as his governor through the George Floyd/BLM situations and riots that Dennis not only lived but pastored his own community through, COVID response, and the controversies over Tim Walz military service. Plus, we talk Trump adjusting to Biden dropping out, preview Trump v Harris and Vance v Walz debates, and more.

All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.
