Previewing the High-Stakes Month Ahead in Congress w/ POLITICO's Nicholas Wu

On this episode: Congress has returned from its summer recess. At the top of the agenda is a deadline to fund the government. Beyond the funding debate, lawmakers are also navigating how best to explain legislation to voters back home, a task complicated by the size and scope of recent bills. Discussions around security funding for Washington, D.C. and public pressure for greater transparency in the Epstein files are shaping the work of Congress this fall. POLITICO congressional reporter Nicholas Wu joins the show to help shed light on the month ahead.Check out some of our guest’s work: https://www.politico.com/staff/nicholas-wu Learn more about the latest in Congress: https://ballotpedia.org/119th_United_States_Congress Complete a brief 5 minute survey to review the show and share some feedback: https://forms.gle/zPxYSog5civyvEKX6 Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.
