Show Notes

This is "Arkies in the Beltway" for the week of July 21, 2024. I'm Alex Thomas, Washington Correspondent for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, with your look at the Arkansans influencing our national political discussions.

This week, we are taking a look at an event outside of Beltway. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette joined Arkansans in Milwaukee last week as they participated in the Republican National Convention and formally nominated former President Donald Trump as their presidential nominee.

On this week's episode, we provide you with an inside look at the emotions of the week following the assassination attempt against Trump, the Arkansans who shared the convention stage with other leading Republican figures, and what some people are thinking with the general election less than four months away.
