A Jan. 6 to Remember: Congress Certifies Trump Win
About this episode
Jen Psaki reflects on the four-year anniversary of the January 6 insurrection, including the importance of peaceful transfers of power following Kamala Harris certifying her loss to Donald Trump. Jen is joined by Representative Jamie Raskin to discuss the weaknesses of the electoral college system and what he makes of Trump's plans to pardon Jan. 6 rioters. Next, former U.S. Capitol Police Sergeant Aquilino Gonell joins Jen to discuss how he is dealing with the trauma he experienced protecting the Capitol that day. Then, Senator Andy Kim joins Jen for a wide-ranging interview, discussing his takeaways from Jan. 6 and his priorities heading into a new Congress. Later, Jen shares some thoughts on VP Harris joining the short list of sitting vice presidents who have humbly certified their own defeat- a stark difference from how Trump handled his loss four years ago. Finally, Senator Raphael Warnock joins the show to reflect on President Jimmy Carter's powerful legacy and what will stick with him most from his close relationship with the former president.
