You might remember Rep. Jamie Raskin for the impassioned speech he made during President Trump’s impeachment hearing last year. “They thought they were going to die,” he said of his daughter and son-in-law who were with him on the day of the insurrection, when a violent mob stormed the Capital. That day — Jan. 6, 2021 — also happened to be the day after Rep. Raskin and his family buried their 25-year-old son, Tommy. This emotional confluence of personal grief and national terror is the focus of Rep Raskin’s new book, “Unthinkable: Trauma, Truth, and the Trials of the American Democracy.” On this bonus episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, Katie and Rep. Raskin talk about “the worst week” of his life, what he has learned from the country’s “self coup,” where our Democracy is now, and what 2024 may hold.
