Donald Trump and Frank Rizzo, former mayor of Philadelphia.

The Ellison Report is a weekly journal of politics, policy, and the people. 

 PART I: American University’s Taryn Morrissey talks about the growing trend of food insecurity in the United States and why political campaigns during this election cycle might want to discuss it more.  

PART II: Jake Blumgart, contributor to NextCity and the Philadelphia Inquirer, shows how Donald Trump is merely the reincarnation of the late Philly Mayor Frank Rizzo. Is that working for him? 

PART III: ER panelists Peter Groff and Keaton Nichols examine the contours of campaign 2016, with extra analysis on how the ongoing Democratic primary battle, State Dept. email woes and revived culture wars hurt or help Hillary Clinton.  

PART IV: Lincoln Park Strategies’ Stefan Hankin returns with his analysis on why we probably shouldn’t worry so much about Donald Trump’s advantage with white voters – or should we?
