Robert Costa, a national political reporter with The Washington Post and moderator and managing editor for PBS’s “Washington Week,” said “Fresno, California is a hotspot on the political map this year.”
"The Democrats' vice-presidential nominee comes from the state and Washington is closely tracking how the agriculture community is faring during a global pandemic," said Costa, who is also a political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC. "Issues from the economy to immigration continue to be at the forefront of the Fresno debate and of our national debate."
Costa returns as the featured speaker for a first-ever virtual version of the President’s Lecture Series scheduled from 6 to 7:15 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8. It’s free to participate, by visiting Zoom at the time of the event.
“As the nation heads into the most consequential presidential election in recent history, hearing Robert's insights from his years reporting on national politics will be intriguing and informative,” said Fresno State President Joseph I. Castro. “Hopefully this opportunity will provide us with greater understanding of the issues and dynamics leading into the election.”
Following his presentation, Costa will address inquiries from the audience in a question-and-answer session to be moderated by Patti Waid, director of University Communications, based on questions submitted by audience members.
