American politics are in a moment of major upheaval: a Republican president and GOP-controlled Congress are reshaping the federal government and expanding the limits of executive power. At the same time, federal Democrats are struggling with how to win back voters who feel their party has failed to deliver. And even as Republicans have this moment on the national stage, Colorado’s GOP party is trying to catch up, hoping a new leader can bring some unity — and less havoc — for Republicans in the state. <a href="https://www.cpr.org/author/bente-birkeland/">CPR’s Bente Birkeland</a> and <a href="https://coloradosun.com/author/jesse-paul/">The Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul</a> examine what new leadership could mean for the future of Colorado’s Republican party. Then <a href="https://www.cpr.org/author/caitlyn-kim/">CPR’s Caitlyn Kim</a> joins to dig into how Colorado’s Democratic members of Congress are looking to redirect the party ahead of the midterms. Purplish is produced by CPR News and the Capitol News Alliance, a collaboration between KUNC News, Colorado Public Radio, Rocky Mountain PBS, and The Colorado Sun, and shared with Rocky Mountain Community Radio and other news organizations across the state. Funding for the Alliance is provided in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Purplish’s producer is <a href="https://www.cpr.org/author/stephanie-wolf/">Stephanie Wolf</a>. This episode was edited by <a href="https://www.cpr.org/author/megan-verlee/">Megan Verlee</a> and sound designed and engineered by <a href="https://www.cpr.org/author/shane-rumsey/">Shane Rumsey</a>. Our theme music is by Brad Turner.
