Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and RCP White House Correspondent Phil Wegmann discuss the future of National Security Advisor Mike Waltz in the wake of revelations that he invited Atlantic Editor Jeffrey Goldberg to join a private text thread discussing strategy for U.S. strikes in Yemen that included other high level Trump advisors. They also talk about a new profile of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt in The Washington Post. Plus, they discuss reports that Columbia University’s administration and faculty are divided over interim president Katrina Armstrong’s handling of Trump-ordered policy reforms. Next, Tom Bevan talks to RCP Senior Elections Analyst Sean Trende about the state of the Democratic Party, and whether there is an opening for a third party to emerge as a real alternative to the Democrat and Republican parties. And finally, Andrew Walworth talks to RealClear Health editor Jerry Rogers about reports that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants to ban or heavily regulate television advertising by drugmakers, and what that would mean for both the pharmaceutical and television industry.
