Washington Governor Jay Inslee is feeling pretty good about his performance last night in the Democratic presidential debate, especially compared to his last time on stage.

KUOW's Angela King talks about Inslee's performance — and if he'll make it to the third debate in September — with political reporter Amy Radil.
