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

— Are this week’s really good coronavirus numbers a sign that we are moving in the right direction?

— Will similar messages from Alabama head coach Nick Saban and President Donald Trump save college football this season?

— Was presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee former Vice President Joe Biden’s best option really U.S. Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA)?

Jackson closes the show with a “parting shot” aimed at those who are trying their best to cast Biden and Harris as moderates.

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