Lawmakers from both parties respond to the president’s flurry of executive orders.
Donald Trump has issued a flurry of executive orders, rolling back Biden-era policies and pardoning January 6 rioters. On Washington Week With The Atlantic, panelists joined to discuss the president’s first week back in office.
Meanwhile, as lawmakers contend with Trump’s initial steps as president, Democrats are attempting to regroup and retrench their party. The “very forceful and energizing resistance that Democrats put up for so long has dissipated, at least in this movement,” Ashley Parker said last night.
Joining the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, to discuss this and more: Leigh Ann Caldwell, the chief Washington correspondent at Puck; Eugene Daniels, a chief Playbook and White House correspondent at Politico; Ashley Parker, a staff writer at The Atlantic; Charlie Savage, a Washington correspondent for The New York Times; Laura Barrón-López, a White House correspondent for PBS NewsHour.
