About this episode
Michael welcomes political analyst Mark Halperin for their weekly conversation, covering the biggest stories shaping politics and public debate. This week: the New York Times’ deep investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s death, whether unanswered questions still linger, Doug Sosnik’s argument that Democrats lost the 2024 election before President Biden exited the race, Josh Shapiro’s presidential prospects, Gavin Newsom’s emerging challenges, and why Donald Trump may be looking for an exit ramp from the conflict with Iran. A wide-ranging discussion on power, politics, and the stories driving Washington. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
