President Joe Biden faced a convergence of issues this week—domestic, foreign, and familial.
The Biden administration’s request for additional aid for Ukraine has stalled as House and Senate Republicans are prioritizing negotiations over border-security policies. Tensions between President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the war in Gaza have spilled into the open. And Hunter Biden, the president’s only surviving son, defied a congressional subpoena and instead offered again to testify in public in front of the Republican-led House committees investigating him. All of this comes as the House voted along party lines to officially open its impeachment inquiry into the president.
Joining the guest moderator and a staff writer at The Atlantic, Franklin Foer, to discuss this and more are Steve Inskeep, a co-host of NPR’s Morning Edition; Jonathan Karl, the chief Washington correspondent at ABC News and the author of Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party; and Asma Khalid, a White House correspondent at NPR and a political contributor at ABC News.
