February 27, 2024: Evening Roundup

Update: 2024-02-27

Description

New York state Democrats are poised to approve a new congressional map that could bolster their chances of winning key swing seats in this year's election. Plus, a new report by the Five Borough Institute finds that 80% of New York City families can’t afford childcare. Also, WNYC’s Nancy Solomon reports on a competitive Democratic primary in New Jersey between First Lady Tammy Murphy and Congressman Andy Kim. And as Black History Month comes to an end, we visit Brooklyn’s Adanne Bookshop, a store started by an educator with a passion for promoting literacy and education around African American history.
