On this special episode of How To Really Run A City, former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and former Philly Mayor Michael Nutter get together just days after the election to hash out how they’re feeling and what they think turned the tide to President-elect Donald Trump.
Despite a “painful, painful map” and impending federal policies that target vulnerable communities, Reed and Nutter offer a few rays of hope.
“Presidents have very little power to reach into cities,” Nutter observed.
“Make [the president] staff these efforts,” Reed agreed. “It would take four years just to staff up.”
