Party in the U.S.A: Game changer in Georgia
Listen now
Description
It’s a historic day in American politics. Much like the general election, the Georgia Senate runoffs have been high stakes nail biters, with Senate control and a lot of Joe Biden’s agenda hanging in the balance. But now, as Democrats celebrate historic wins in both races, Elamin calls up Josh Wingrove, White House reporter for Bloomberg News, to discuss the importance of this moment. Also today, Congress will meet to confirm the presidential election results. Normally, this is a pretty straightforward ceremony. But if the leadup to it has been any indication, the proceedings — led by outgoing Vice-president Mike Pence — could be fraught with drama. Note: this episode was recorded before news broke that Trump supporters breached the U.S. Capitol building and forced a lockdown.
