Politics War Room with James Carville & Al Hunt

James and Al shame Justice Alito and stand up for the necessary integrity of our legal system before being joined by revered journalist Ron Brownstein for a deep dive into the 2024 race.  They look at how the public sees the assumed Biden/Trump match up, what things would be like if the dynamics were changed, and the strong Democratic bench that could help heal the increasingly dangerous political divide.

James and Al are joined by Rep. Ro Khanna for a powerful and wide ranging conversation about the future.  They discuss what should happen to Senator Feinstein’s seat, why “it’s the economy, stupid” and how to improve messaging, and weigh President Biden’s strengths and weaknesses– concluding there are risks, but his record has made him the best choice given the current challengers.
