The NPR Politics Podcast

Borders, Bills & Burgers

In this week's roundup, we look at the dueling visits to the U.S.-Mexico border taken by President Biden and former president Trump, the continued glacial pace of legislation in Congress, and controversial plans to make a fast food staple a little bit pricier. This episode: White House correspondents Asma Khalid &amp; Franco Ordoñez, and political correspondent Susan Davis. Our producers are Jeongyoon Han, Casey Morell &amp; Kelli Wessinger. Our editor is Erica Morrison. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
