It's to Brian Larraow on WNYC.

Good Monday morning everyone as we begin an eventful week

in New York and national politics.

The main event nationally is this Thursday night's televised debate

between President Biden and former President Trump, as you all know.

And tomorrow is primary day in New York State with the marquee race in the Democratic congressional primary,

being in Lower Manhattan, Lower

Manhattan, Lower Westchester and a little of the Bronx

between Jamal Bowman and George Latimer.

But there are many other things on the ballot too, including

another Democratic congressional primary, John Avalon versus Nancy Goroff on Long Island,

as they each hope to take on Republican Congressman Nick Leloada and flip that seat blue.

Of course the New York suburbs, so key in 2022 to Republicans having control of the House. it will be a very key area in 2024 for who

controls the House.

So who has the better shot at defeating Nick Lololet, Loroff or Avalon, we'll talk about that race coming up.

But we'll start on the national scene.

A few things I've read or heard about Thursday nights Trump-Biden debate.

It's the earliest presidential debate ever

coming even before the party's conventions

this summer.

I wonder what the implications of that might be.
