The McLaughlin Group -- November 27, 2020
guest panelist this week is Kelsey Bolar, senior policy analyst at Independent Women's Forum
Issue one: Biden at Home
Joe Biden has a long wish list of programs and policies he intends to enact during his White House tenure. But with republicans looking likely to retain control of the Senate, how much of what Biden wants will he really be able to do? And how will Biden balance his agenda with that of the Democratic Party left?
Issue two: Biden Abroad
The President-Elect says he's determined to strengthen America's alliances and engage the world on shared challenges. But facing a rising China and nuclear proliferation challenges from Iran and North Korea, some wonder whether Biden's presidency will be shaped by events rather than shape them.
Issue three: GOP Strategy
Republicans are optimistic they will hold control of the Senate after two Georgia Senate runoff races are concluded. But how will Republicans approach their dealings with President Biden? Will resistance be the rule?
Issue four: Trump's Future

Biden's Domestic Agenda, Biden's Foreign Policy, GOP Strategy, Trump's Future

The McLaughlin Group -- November 20, 2020
guest panelist this week is conservative strategist Matt Mackowiak
Issue one: What Transition?
With President Trump's legal challenges persisting, Joe Biden this week suggested that any effective transition of administrations might not begin until he becomes president on January 20th.
Issue two: Biden's Plans
Joe Biden unveiled more of his governing agenda this week, moving towards the democratic left on student loan forgiveness. But as Biden grapples with the prospect of a GOP Senate, some analysts suggest he'll have to choose between executive actions and ensuing court battles, or a more moderate negotiating stance.
Issue three: 2,500
It was announced this week that by January 15th, 2021, troop levels would be reduced to 2,500 in both Iraq and Afghanistan. The moves might be supported by the American people, but some observers suggest that President Trump's reduction in US force levels is not consistent with his stated strategic objectives.
Issue four: Of Tweets and Posts
Discussing the battle between Republicans who say that social media companies are censoring conservative opinion in order to support Democratic Party interests, and Democrats who argue that social media companies aren't doing enough to deal with disinformation.

Election Challenges, Biden's Plans, Iraq and Afghanistan, Social Media Giants

The McLaughlin Group -- November 13, 2020
guest panelist this week is Kerry Picket of the Washington Examiner 
Issue one: Biden Versus Trump
President-elect Joe Biden condemned President Trump for refusing to concede the 2020 Presidential Election. But the president was unmoved, asserting evidence of widespread electoral fraud.
Issue two: Cabinet
Progressives and conservatives hoping for some fresh faces and ideas in Joe Biden's cabinet are worried. A Politico report this week suggested that Biden intends to return many familiar, old Obama hands to high level positions in his administration.
Issue three: Bye Bye Hong Kong
Expelling four Hong Kong pro-democracy legislators this week, China found itself confronted with the mass-resignation of all remaining pro-democracy elected officials in the former British colony. The action formalized what has been known for months now, that Hong Kong is no longer a representation of China's claim to one country, two systems model.
Issue four: Good News, Bad News
A vaccine is finally on the horizon and likely to be available for emergency use by mid-December. This good news comes as US COVID infections average 100,000 new cases and 1,000 deaths each day.
