Politics with Amy Walter: The Future of American Politics
February 26, 2021 17:00 - 49.8 MBAfter four tumultuous years of the Trump presidency, President Joe Biden promised to put the chaos behind him and return the country to normalcy.

Politics with Amy Walter: Election Officials Reflect on the 2020 Cycle
February 19, 2021 17:00 - 49.8 MBOver the past 25 years, the makeup of newsrooms—and the people covering politics—has changed significantly. As more women and people of color joined the media, newsrooms began to reflect the diversity of America. While newsrooms today are still overwhelmingly white, the lens through which we view politics has evolved largely due to the diversity of opinions. But there's still a long way to go. Amy Walter spoke with Errin Haines, co-founder and editor-at-large for the 19th*, Toluse Olorunnipa...

February 05, 2021 17:00 - 45 MBAccording to a recent Marist/NPR/PBS NewsHour poll, the proportion of Americans who think the nation is on track is at its lowest point in twenty years.

But, skepticism of the government didn’t start with President Trump’s attacks on the Deep State or his claims of voter frau...
