ALL-STAR ELECTION EVE ROUNDTABLE MODERATED BY MARGARET CARLSON

Join us for an all-star in-depth ELECTION EVE look at Campaign 2020, also featuring Eleanor Clift and Alvin Falzenberg. President Trump is running like no one before, save himself in 2016. He’s turned Biden into the incumbent. Secondly, we’ll look at whether Mitch McConnell remains Senate Majority Leader—or Senator. He’s had his first worrisome race in decades against former pilot Amy McGrath. For dessert, we’ll tackle Trump’s threat to reject the election results and the dystopian nightmare that would follow.

For better or worse, they all live in the swamp.
