As the transition to a new Administration takes place, moderate Republican Senator Mitt Romney's tenure in Washington came to a close with a farewell speech in which he called for unity. In this episode of The Hinckley Report, our panel of politcial insiders discusses his replacment John Curtis's record of bridging the political divide with efforts like his Conservative Climate Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives. Will Curtis maintain his ability to work across the aisle as Utah's new junior Senator?

Our panel debates whether the Delivering Outstanding Government Efficiency (DOGE) Caucus, co-chaired by Utah Rep. Blake Moore, will be able to cut a proposed $2 trillion from the federal budget.

Plus, Martha Hughes Cannon, the first female State Senator from Utah is finally memorialized in bronze at the U.S. Capitol, sparking conversation around representation of women in politics.
