What A Day

Democratic Soul Searching feat. Jon Favreau

President Joe Biden addressed the nation Thursday for the first time since Election Day. He promised to “honor the constitution on January 20th” and peacefully hand over power to President-Elect Donald Trump. Meanwhile, the blame game and painful soul-searching within the Democratic Party has begun in earnest. Jon Favreau, co-host of ‘Pod Save America’ and former speechwriter for President Barack Obama, stopped by to discuss what comes next.And in headlines: Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell says he will not resign when Trump takes office, former New York City mayor and disbarred attorney Rudy Giuliani goes to court again, and Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. Bob Casey pushes back on the Associated Press’ race call against him.Show Notes:Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – <a href="https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8</a>What A Day – YouTube – <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast</a>Follow us on Instagram – <a href="https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/</a>For a transcript of this episode, please visit <a href="http://crooked.com/whataday" target="_blank">crooked.com/whataday</a>
