Republican And Democratic Conventions Next In Political Pipeline

The presumptive presidential nominees have now been chosen for both the Republican and Democratic parties. Next in the political pipeline - the Republican and Democratic National Conventions in July.

For some analysis on how those conventions may play out, we spoke with Howard Wilkinson, a political news reporter with the Cincinnati Enquirer for more than 30 years. Wilkinson is now with WVXU Public Radio in Cincinnati.

The Republican National Convention begins July 18th in Cleveland.  Democrats will take the stage in Philadelphia July 25th.
