During the second half of the show, Brad leads a political roundtable with Edwith Theogene and Mark Grimaldi. The roundtable discusses the large increase in voter turnout among younger Americans in the 2020 election, and analyzes whether that trend can continue in the 2022 midterm elections.
They also discuss cancelling student loan debt, child tax credit checks, and a reported Democratic deal on an infrastructure reconciliation package.
