The Fallout From Gary Cohn Exiting the White House
Kelly Macias, staff writer for Daily Kos, and Alayna Treene, reporter for Axios, discuss what comes next now that Gary Cohn has left his post as President Trump's top economic advisor. They also touch on how the Democrats made out Tuesday in the Texas primaries.
Treene believes Cohn was unhappy in his role for a long time, as far back as the events in Charlottesville, but stayed on to push tax reform. Macias thinks the idea that the "adults in the room" will handle Trump isn't true because all the adults are leaving.
The Biden administration will propose a new rule Wednesday that would make 3.6 million more U.S. workers eligible for overtime pay, reviving an Obama-era policy effort that was ultimately scuttled in court.
The sentencing for former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio over his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection was canceled after the presiding judge was out sick.
