Political Pulse Podcast

Political Pulse is a WDBJ7 produced podcast keeping the pulse on political issues that matter to people in Southwest Virginia. Whether it’s national, state or local, we will discuss the most salient issues, how they affect people in our region and why it matters.

Daniel Grimes speaks with Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears about HB 1508, a bill that would give families money enabling them to afford private or parochial schools. But not everyone is on board with the idea. Daniel Grimes examines both sides of the issues as it is debated in Virginia’s General Assembly.

Political Pulse Host Daniel Grimes has a one-on-one with Dr. Bob Denton, Professor Emeritus of Communication at Virginia Tech and WDBJ7′s Political Analyst. They discuss Governor Glenn Youngkin’s political future if he doesn’t throw his hat into the 2024 presidential ring. They’ll consider what’s ahead for the General Assembly in January and review the biggest story of 2022 that will shape next year’s headlines.
