The end of political centrism continues to be a prevailing theme. This week, Trump secured an endorsement from the Senate’s top Republican, Mitch McConnell, who had previously denounced the former president after the January 6 insurrection. Additionally, the decision of independent Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona to not seek reelection signals further bipartisanship decline and likely increased polarization in the Senate. Joining the editor in chief of The Atlantic and moderator, Jeffrey Goldberg, this week to discuss this and more are Eugene Daniels, a White House correspondent …

With just days until New Hampshire’s presidential primary election, tension is growing between Republican rivals former President Donald Trump and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.

Check your local listings or watch full episodes here. On Wednesday, former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger passed away at the age of 100. As the country remembers the former statesman’s complicated legacy, his fellow Republicans on Capitol Hill are working to overcome their internal dysfunction: In the House, Republican Representative George Santos of New York was expelled from Congress in a rare bipartisan vote for ethics violations. And in the Senate, Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama attempted to reassure colleagues that his monthslong blockade of Pentagon nominations will end soon. All of this comes as former President Donald Trump continues to lead in polls of Republican and evangelical voters six weeks before the Iowa caucuses.

Check your local listings or watch full episodes here. Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia’s announcement that he will not seek reelection in 2024 capped a paradoxical week for Democrats. Manchin’s news puts Democrats’ control of the Senate at greater risk at the same time that polling for President Joe Biden continues to decline. But there was good news for Democrats: They scored a number of victories in Tuesday’s off-year election, including swing state Ohio voting to codify the right to an abortion in the state’s constitution. Joining the editor in chief of The Atlantic and moderator, Jeffrey Goldberg, this week to discuss this and more are David Brooks, a columnist at The New York Times and the author of How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen; Eugene Daniels, a White House correspondent and a co-author …

Representative Kevin McCarthy, a Republican from California, was ousted from his role as speaker of the House this week, and the race for someone to replace him is under way. The anarchic spirit that is alive and well among House Republicans threatens to exacerbate the federal government’s dysfunction and places support for Ukraine in peril as another potential shutdown looms. What does the GOP’s infighting mean for the health of the party and the country, and for the 2024 presidential campaign? Joining the editor in chief of The Atlantic and moderator, Jeffrey Goldberg, this week to discuss these issues and more: Nancy Cordes, the chief White House correspondent at CBS News; Eugene Daniels, a White House correspondent at Politico and a co-author of “Playbook”; and Chuck Todd, the chief political analyst at NBC News.
