Amy Walter on the 'symbolism' of Tuesday's election results

Season 2020 Episode 167 | 5m 40s

Elections were held in several states on Tuesday, even as the pandemic and major protests consumed the country. In Ferguson, Missouri, where protests first erupted in 2014 after the shooting death of Michael Brown by a white police officer, an African American woman was elected as the city’s next mayor. For more results and analysis, Judy Woodruff talks to Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report.
