  • As Trump fills Cabinet, Dems tend to their bruises, look to the future

    As Trump fills Cabinet, Dems tend to their bruises, look to the future
    2024/11/12
    President-elect Donald Trump is wasting no time beginning the transition, with controversial choices, including Senator Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, former Governor Mike Huckabee as his Ambassador to Israel, and former ICE chief Tom Homan as his “border czar,” which is a position that doesn’t officially exist. Meanwhile, Democrats have flipped one swing House seat in California and they’re still hoping to win a couple more, but it seems extremely likely that the Republicans will hold the House with a net gain of perhaps two or three seats, giving them complete control of all the branches of the federal government. Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco, though, insists this was not the sweeping rebuke of the Democrats that many across the country think. More on today's State of California, hosted by KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern, along with KCBS news anchor Patti Reising.

    Trump announces his pick for "Border Czar," a nebulous position
    2024/11/11
    As we've been reporting today, President-elect Donald Trump has announced former ICE chief Tom Homan to be the "border czar" for his incoming administration. This isn't the first time that Homan has worked with Trump--he served as acting ICE director during part of Trump's first term. Now, according to President-elect Trump, Homan will "be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their country of origin."

  • Harris has conceded—where does she go from here?

    Harris has conceded—where does she go from here?
    2024/11/06
    Vice President Kamala Harris conceded defeat this afternoon, congratulating President-elect Donald Trump but vowing to continue the fight that fueled her campaign It’s a somber day for many voters in the Bay Area, and for those who have known and worked with Harris for years. Of course, Kamala Harris was a county prosecutor in both Oakland and San Francisco, as well as working in the City Attorney’s office in San Francisco, before she became DA, and then state Attorney General before moving on to Washington. She has many friends and former colleagues here, many of whom worked tirelessly for the last 107 days to try to help elect her president. Today they are licking their wounds, trying to figure out what went wrong, and looking ahead to what comes next. For more on this, KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern, along with KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart, spoke with Debbie Mesloh. She was Kamala Harris’ press secretary back in the day when Harris was San Francisco District Attorney. They are old, dear friends and Mesloh spent the closing days of this campaign working to get out the vote for Harris in Wisconsin.

  • What can we expect as polls begin to close on the East Coast?

    What can we expect as polls begin to close on the East Coast?
    2024/11/05
    It is Election Day in America, with tens of millions of voters going to the polls and probably even more than that anxiously awaiting the results. KCBS will have complete coverage with all the returns, beginning when the first polls close on the East Coast. The polls close in six states at 4:00 our time and we will probably be able to project some winners almost immediately. Those states include Georgia, one of the battlegrounds, and Virginia, which is not a swing state but could offer some insight into what’s going to happen. We don’t expect to be able to estimate the winner in Georgia right away, though. We are also watching the data from exit polls, of voters after they come out of the polling place and also some who voted by mail or early, and that could be illuminating as well. And of course, the polls don’t close here in California until 8:00, so get out and vote if you haven’t already, we may know by then who’s won the presidency….or it could take a couple of days to count enough votes. More on today's State of California, hosted by KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern, along with KCBS news anchors Bret Burkhart and Patti Reising.

  • Polls are a useful snapshot in time, but it's still anyone's game

    Polls are a useful snapshot in time, but it's still anyone's game
    2024/11/04
    It's almost all over, as Kamala Harris, Donald Trump and candidates up and down the ballot make one last push to get their supporters to the polls. Meanwhile, anxious Americans are poring over the last-minute polls, trying to figure out what’s going to happen in this too-close-to-call election. But the poller coaster can leave you dizzy. We’ve seen some surveys trending toward Trump nationally, but others trending towards Harris. We’ve seen some swing state polls swinging toward the Democrats, and others swinging to the GOP. How do we know which ones are accurate? What can polling trends really tell us about what to expect tomorrow? For more on this, KCBS Radio anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart, along with KCBS insider Doug Sovern, were joined by Christian Grose, professor of political science and public policy at USC and the Academic Director of the USC Schwarzenegger Institute, and an expert on polling and elections. This is The State of California.

  • Arguments from both sides of South Lake Tahoe's Measure N

    Arguments from both sides of South Lake Tahoe's Measure N
    2024/11/01
    Doug Sovern is away today. Voters in South Lake Tahoe have a big decision to make before they turn in their ballots, and it's not only on who they decide to be the next president. Many people go to the mountain resort town to escape their day-to-day lives, oftentimes staying in their vacation homes or book through a rental company. But South Lake Tahoe has about 7,000 vacant homes, and the contentious measure is pushing to tax these properties that are empty for half of the year to address the town's housing crisis. For a better understanding of Measure N, we have two guests for you on each side of the issue. First, KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart spoke with Amelia Richmond, Co-Founder of Locals for Affordable Housing, which is the group that collected the signatures to get the issue on the ballot. Patti and Bret then spoke with Steve Teshara, Director of Government Relations for the Tahoe Chamber of Commerce, who is opposing the measure.
