YOLO Politics 

President Trump is facing a Republican revolt from soon-to-be former senators he had deemed insufficiently loyal. That group now known as the “YOLO caucus” is emboldened to defy Trump and thwart his legislative agenda.

  • Stephen Hayes, Editor, The Dispatch
  • Annie Linskey, White House Reporter, The Wall Street Journal 
  • Michael Scherer, Staff Writer, The Atlantic
  • Nancy Youssef, Staff Writer, The Atlantic
