Coming-up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:
Crisis in the Middle East and chaos on Capitol Hill: After returning from Tel Aviv to demonstrate U.S. support for Israel’s war with Hamas, President Biden plans to use this evening’s Oval Office address to make the case for sending wartime aid to Israel and continuing American support for Ukraine.
The President’s plan is complicated by events at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue. Legislating is at a standstill as House Republicans have yet to reach consensus on who will be their next Speaker.
Joining editor in chief of The Atlantic and moderator, Jeffrey Goldberg, to discuss this and more:
- Dana Bash, Chief Political Correspondent, and anchor Inside Politics with Dana Bash, CNN
- Franklin Foer, Staff Writer, The Atlantic, and author, “The Last Politician: Inside Joe Biden's White House and the Struggle for America's Future”
