Weekly Roundup: New Speaker, Same Challenges

Episode 1686 Published 2 years, 4 months ago
Description
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) has a lot on his agenda — aid to Israel and Ukraine, a looming government shutdown & more. He'll need bipartisan support to get things done, but how doable that is remains to be seen.

And, polls in New Hampshire are tightening ahead of January's primaries — even with a major candidate off the ballot entirely.

This episode: voting correspondent Ashley Lopez, congressional correspondent Deirdre Walsh, and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro.

The podcast is edited by Casey Morell. It is produced by Elena Moore and Jeongyoon Han. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
