Post-Primary Debrief: Election Reactions, Crossover Republicans & the Incumbency Wall

Joanna and Andy drop in the booth fresh off the Vermont Democratic primary. She and Andy get into the strange grief of running for office: the sleepless nights, the dehumanization, the artificial turf question that wouldn't die, and the freedom of being a private citizen again. They cover the results, Republican infiltration of the Democratic primary, the numbers and more. Plus: a Free Press headline that called a race (wrong) before the polls opened, egrets on Bird Yelp, and our summer plans. Season 3 in September. #TheresNoAInCreemee #VTPoli #VermontPolitics #VTPrimary #VTElections2026 #OpenPrimaries #ChittendenCounty #MollyGray #AmandaJanoo #NikhilGoyal #SarahGeorge #PhilScott #BurlingtonFreePress #LocalJournalism #Incumbency #CampaignLife #VermontPodcast #Creemee
