Political Dynamics and Party Strategies Amidst Trump’s Influence

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and White House correspondent Phil Wegman discuss today’s committee vote in the Senate advancing Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s nomination to head HHS to the Senate floor. Then they talk about the possibility that Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency will next target the Department of Education for elimination, and what the political cost of such a move might be. Phil Wegmann talks to Rep. Jim Himes, Democrat of Connecticut, on what the Democratic Party should do to regain the support of middle-class voters. And Carl Cannon talks to Peter Berkowitz of the Hoover Institution about how the State Department could galvanize world opinion around “inalienable” rights and reclaim the human rights movement by reflecting American values.
