Navigating Legislative Challenges and Political Motivations

Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, Matt Gaetz, withdrew as a nominee on Thursday amid growing controversy over sexual misconduct accusations. While Gaetz was a uniquely unpopular and fraught pick, the incident was a reminder that the president-elect might not always get everything he wants from the GOP- controlled Congress, at least not right away. Given the slim majorities and infighting among Republicans, how fast will Trump be able to move his agenda forward? We’ll preview his first 100 days with politics reporters Kadia Goba of Semafor and David Graham of the Atlantic.

Guests:

Kadia Goba, politics reporter, Semafor
