28:31Now PlayingThe 2022 midterm election resulted in the so-called trifecta in state government, with the DFL in control of the Governor's office, the House of Representatives and the Senate.
The makeup of the 2023 Senate is historic: Senator Bobby Joe Champion, DFL-Minneapolis, is the first person of color to be elected President of the Senate. Also for the first time, women make up the majority in the DFL caucus, and Black women are represented. Newly-elected Senator Zaynab Mohamed, DFL-Minneapolis, is also the first Somali woman, the youngest woman and the first of Generation Z to join the Senate. President Champion and Senator Mohamed join Capitol Report moderator Shannon Loehrke to talk about their new roles.
Also in the program, highlights from a Senate floor debate over whether remote voting should continue post-pandemic, and DFL leaders outline some of their shared priorities for the coming legislative session.
