May 31, 2024: Political polarization ‘calcifies’ in 2024; Summer outlook is warmer and drier

Then, Denver7 chief meteorologist Mike Nelson on severe weather and the summer outlook. Plus, a Colorado musical’s journey from concept to stage.

The research director for More In Common is now using the words “ossification” and “calcification.” And yet on some issues, there is plenty of evidence that common ground still exists. As Election 2024 draws closer, Hawkins reflects on polarization research and solutions.
