Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and Alabama Democratic Executive Committee member Lisa Handback take you through this week’s biggest political stories, including:

— Has Alabama reached the other side of its coronavirus issues?

— Is it time for more strident enforcement of Alabama’s mask order?

— Can U.S. Senator Doug Jones (D-AL) straddle the line between being a moderate Democrat and giving credibility to “The Squad?”

Dale Jackson is a contributing writer to Yellowhammer News and hosts a talk show from 7-11 AM weekdays on WVNN.
