AP White House Reporter on California’s Image in D.C.

from Political Breakdown · host KQED

On Thursday, the House of Representatives voted to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. The administration has barred journalists from The Associated Press from the White House press pool for refusing to adopt the renaming in its coverage. Scott and Marisa are joined by The AP's White House reporter Chris Megerian to discuss the president's renaming orders, including his plans to announce whether the U.S. will start referring to the Persian Gulf as the Arabian Gulf.  Plus, they dig into California’s influence and reputation in D.C. and Governor Gavin Newsom's balancing act with the Trump administration.
