Security and Accountability in Politics

Andrew, Tom and Carl discuss if Donald Trump’s slim victory in the popular vote and narrow gains in the House provide him with a mandate for change, and whether Democratic challenges to the results of the Pennsylvania Senate race amount to “election denial.” They also talk about Anthony Fauci’s $15 million federally funded security detail, and the admission by FEMA that one of its employees instructed disaster workers to avoid homes displaying pro-Trump yard signs in the wake of Hurricane Milton in Florida. Next, Tom talks to RCP White House correspondent Phil Wegmann about Trump’s options for key figures in his new administration, and what his picks so far tell us about how he will operate. And finally, Carl talks to RealClear Defense editor David Craig about the importance of Veterans’ Day.
