Coming-up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:
The House of Representatives has a new Speaker, finally: After a bruising battle and several weeks without a leader, Republicans have finally elected Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana to be the 56th Speaker of the House.
But how did this little-known, far-right ally of former President Donald Trump become second in line to the presidency? And what does Johnson’s ascension say about the state of the GOP and the country?
Joining editor in chief of The Atlantic and moderator, Jeffrey Goldberg to discuss this and more:
- McKay Coppins, Staff Writer, The Atlantic and author, “Romney: A Reckoning”
- John Dickerson, Anchor, CBS News Prime Time with John Dickerson
- Nia-Malika Henderson, Senior Political Analyst, CNN
