In this episode, co-hosts Omar Nashashibi, Caitlin Sickles, and Paul Nathanson stare down another potential government shutdown with budget brinkmanship on Capitol Hill threatening efforts at a deal to fund critical government agencies and initiatives. But, while those battles wage on, the group talks about some areas of consensus that matter for manufacturers including workforce-related legislation and potential trade packages. The conversation turns to politics last, covering what Nikki Haley's refusal to walk away might mean while a Biden-Trump rematch feels ever more inevitable.
