Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:

Trump’s Legal Trouble and Bipartisan Border Deal Collapse:

The Supreme Court is set to play a pivotal role in the 2024 presidential election, as it weighs former President Donald Trump’s appeal to appear on Colorado's Republican presidential primary ballot. Trump is also expected to ask the Supreme Court as early as next week to overturn a federal appeals court’s rejection of his immunity claims.

Meanwhile, Trump's influence on the Republican party was on display this week on Capitol Hill. The House G.O.P. failed to pass key votes, and Senate Republicans blocked a bipartisan border security package that they themselves had demanded from Democrats.

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

  • James Bennet, Senior Editor, The Economist
  • John Dickerson, Chief Political Analyst, CBS News and Anchor, “CBS News Prime Time With John Dickerson”
  • Josh Gerstein, Senior Legal Affairs Reporter, POLITICO
  • Amna Nawaz, Co-Anchor, PBS NewsHour
