Ben Terris

from Press Club · host Mediaite

Mediaite editor Aidan McLaughlin speaks with Washington Post writer Ben Terris about his new book, "The Big Break: The Gamblers, Party Animals, and True Believers Trying to Win in Washington While America Loses Its Mind." They discuss how D.C. never returned to normal in the wake of Trump's presidency, and how characters on both sides of the political aisle — from Matt Schlapp to Sean McElwee — are keeping the town weird. They also discuss Terris's writing style, how he gets into the homes and minds of his subjects, and whether he harbors any hope D.C. will return to the pre-Trump status quo.
