Washington Week with The Atlantic

The battle for control of the Republican Party

Season 2018 Episode 17 | 25m 42s

For even the casual observer, this was a week like no other in Washington. Republican Sens. Bob Corker and Jeff Fake each publicly condemned President Trump. The panelists discussed if anything, like a rewrite of the U.S. tax code, can get done on Capitol Hill if the Republican Party is fractured.

Aired: 10/27/17
