This week’s roundup of top news includes the latest Quinnipiac poll showing the bombastic Donald Trump in the lead as the rest of the GOP presidential candidates battle to make the stage for their first presidential debate of the season. Gomes looks at what’s ahead at the National Urban League Conference in Fort Lauderdale as Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton address black voters.
Gomes switches gears and turns attention to the nation’s transportation infrastructure as politics gets in the way of a long-term solution to keep vital federal dollars flowing to road and highway projects. The Hill’s Transportation reporter Keith Laing discusses the gridlock in Washington while Floridian’s for Better Transportation president, Mattew Ubben, offers his suggestions on ways to bridge the political divide.
