Red Alert & Democratic Coalition Debate: From Michael Flynn to Tax Reform
Cheddar hosts Kristen Scholer and Tim Stenovec cover the breaking news that former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn will plead guilty to lying to the FBI. Jarad Gelner, Senior Advisor, Democratic Coalition, and Peter Van Voorhis, Writer at Red Alert Politics, join in the conversation as well.
Plus, Senator John McCain has flipped his view on the tax reform bill and will now vote "yes." As the Senate rushes to vote the bill through, some Republicans are still pushing back on the lack of a plan to safeguard the deficit. The Joint Committee on Taxation says the Senate bill will add $1 trillion to the deficit over a decade.
In addition, Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin met with President Trump to express his concerns about pass-through entities. He's now expected to vote "yes" on the bill. The Republicans hope to have a version of the bill on President Trump's desk next week.
Zach Montellaro, Deputy National Editor at Politico, joins Cheddar to discuss what you need to know ahead of the debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
Barron's Ideas Editor, Matt Peterson, joins Cheddar to talk about the current state of the election and how Trump and Harris are tackling economic issues.
