As our politics panel convenes at the start of a new administration, questions require answers. Did final 2024 election results differ from what they seemed in November? How did the transfer of power compare to four years ago? What do partisan majorities in Congress and the legislature predict for policy outcomes of the new president and Governor Whitmer? Who were the president’s executive nominees? And what foreign and domestic crises demanded attention? Join us as we tangle with national and state political news.
