Midterm Election Special With Neera Tanden

This week, Daniella and Ed sit down with Center for American Progress' President and CEO Neera Tanden to discuss the 2018 midterm elections, policy priorities for the new Congress, and the firing of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

There was an election last night—did you hear? In this episode, Ed and Daniella sit down with Neera Tanden, the president and CEO of the Center for American Progress, to talk about the electoral rebuke of President Donald Trump, the policy priorities that will shape the upcoming Congress, the success of female candidates this election cycle, and what she’s watching when she’s able to take a rare break from politics. We also react to the news of President Trump firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions with multiple races still undecided. What does it all mean?
