Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic

Red flags for Republicans, hard challenges for President Biden: After former President Donald Trump was arraigned for trying to overturn the 2020 election results, a strange question looms over the 2024 race: 'Will the former President and current Republican GOP frontrunner win the presidency, go to prison, or both?’

The challenges facing Democrats and President Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign include how to overcome low voter enthusiasm and poor approval ratings. The President also faces unsubstantiated allegations from some in the GOP that he is entangled in his son Hunter’s foreign business misadventures, and some House Republicans are weighing whether to hold an “impeachment inquiry” this fall.

Joining editor in chief of The Atlantic and moderator, Jeffrey Goldberg, to discuss this and more:

  • Peter Baker, Chief White House Correspondent, The New York Times
  • Laura Barrón-López, White House Correspondent, PBS Newshour
  • Adam Harris, Staff Writer, The Atlantic

Major funding for “Washington Week” is provided by Consumer Cellular, the estate of Arnold Adams, the Yuen Foundation, Sandra and Carl DeLay-Magnuson, Rose Hirschel and Andy Shreeves, Robert and Susan Rosenbaum, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and PBS.
