Examining Media Influence on Political Campaigns

Andrew, Tom and Carl discuss Trump's latest cabinet picks including reports that Marco Rubio will be named Secretary of State, and what GOP control of the House will mean for Trump’s agenda. They also talk about the fight to lead Republicans in the Senate (Thune vs. Cornyn vs. Scott) and today’s visit to Washington by California governor Gavin Newsom. Plus, the post-election decline in viewership at MSNBC and CNN, and Chris Wallace’s decision to leave CNN for the world of podcasting. And then finally, Andrew Walworth talks to Charles McElwee, editor of RealClear Pennsylvania, about the potential recount of the senate race between incumbent Democrat Bob Casey and Republican challenger Dave McCormick, and the political future of Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro.
