Ep. 010: Pat Harrigan
(WGHP) — Politicians from coast to coast like to claim they're 'fighting for you,' but few know fighting quite like Pat Harrigan does. Harrigan is the freshman congressman representing North Carolina's 10th district, and, as a Green Beret, he saw combat overseas and knows not only what that's like but the cost of it all. It was what he considers the U.S.'s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan that inspired him to run for Congress, and Harrigan has strong opinions not just about what's happening in Ukraine but the long fight we're engaged in with China and, more importantly, how that fight can be won. On the lighter side, Harrigan reveals how he and his wife, Rocky, named their two daughters. Hosted by , is a weekly look at what's going on in the world of politics and how it all affects you.

Ep. 007: Wiley Nickel
(WGHP) — He's not the one everyone seems to be waiting for, but he says he's the man they should be. Wiley Nickel is not a firebrand. He's not a famous name, but he did serve in both the North Carolina State Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, and he believes he's the best one to take on two-term incumbent U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis. He lays out his case for the Democratic nomination and why voters should listen less to the voices of the progressive left that seem to be dominating the Democratic Party these days.

Ep. 006: Kathy Manning (Part 2)
(WGHP) — When you have someone with Kathy Manning's experience and accomplishments in your house, you try to keep her around as long as you can. She's back to discuss the book that has created non-stop discussion on the political left: 'Abundance' by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson. Could the book be a game plan for Democrats to regain relevance in national governance? We also ask Manning whether she saw a decline in President Joe Biden and if she feels she should have called for him to step down before he did last summer.

Ep. 005: Kathy Manning (Part 1)
(WGHP) — After two short terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, Kathy Manning was left without a home after Republicans in the North Carolina general assembly redrew districts. She chose not to run for a third term, but that doesn't mean she's done. In this episode of Swing State, Manning talks about district court judges stopping President Donald Trump's agenda, Congress abdicating its responsibilities and how to solve America's immigration issues – an issue Manning knows a lot about as an attorney who does immigration work.
