Tax Reform, the Budget, and Sexual Politics in Washington
Nick Johnston, Editor in Chief at Axios, and Nate Madden, CRTV's Congressional Correspondent, give a preview of the upcoming weeks in Washington, including a discussion about the women accusing President Trump of assault and the future of tax reform and budget agreements.
Johnston weighs in on whether President Trump will face the same repercussions that other men in powerful positions have faced in recent weeks over accusations of sexual harassment and assault. Three of the president's accusers spoke out Monday about their allegations.
Madden discusses the pressures the GOP faces to pass a piece of legislation before year's end, blaming the failure of healthcare reform on Congress as a whole, rather than on the President's administration.
We discuss the issues around the budget that are up for debate, including everything from funding Planned Parenthood to immigration to the border wall with Mexico. Nick does not think there will be a shutdown because neither party will want to deal with the fallout.
We also talk Roy Moore, as the Alabama Senate race comes to a close, with Nick noting how profound it is that an Alabama Senate race is competitive.
