Welcome to 2022, where heavy snow in the Washington area trapped cars for nearly 20 hours on one of the area's major highways, a fitting metaphor for the political traffic jam that continues to freeze the Democratic agenda in Congress. RealClearPolitics co-founder and president Tom Bevan joins RCP Washington Bureau Chief Carl Cannon to discuss the start of 2022, surging omicron, and Senate leader Chuck Schumer's threats to change the filibuster.
