What Comes After the Midterms
Panelists on Washington Week With The Atlantic joined to discuss what President Trump may do in the remaining two years of his presidency—and how Democrats in Congress could respond.
Washington Week With The Atlantic delved into the implications of the upcoming midterms for President Donald Trump and Democrats in Congress. Adam Harris, host of Radio Atlantic, highlighted the potential for a Democrat-controlled Capitol to address key concerns that spurred voter turnout, including the Iran conflict, immigration, and the president's National Guard deployment.
While some may view the midterms as a form of retribution, Harris contended that many voters viewed it as an opportunity for accountability. Joining The Atlantic's editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg in the discussion were Peter Baker of The New York Times, Leigh Ann Caldwell of Puck, Stephen Hayes of The Dispatch, and Adam Harris himself. The full episode was available for viewing.
