Summary
Susan Glasser is the ultimate Washington insider. She has had reporting and/or editing positions at Roll Call, The Washington Post, Politico and Foreign Policy magazine. She is the co-author of three books with her husband Peter Baker, Chief White House Correspondent for the New York Times. The best-selling books focused on Vladimir Putin, James Baker and Donald Trump. She was a long time contributor to CNN. Now she writes the highly regarded weekly “Letter From Joe Biden’s Washington” and does a weekly podcast on politics, both for the New Yorker. It's hard to find a sharper observer of our politics.
Today, Bill gives a shout out to two of our longtime union supporters. A member of the Ironworkers Union was a guest of the president at the State of the Union address and last week the president went to a training center run by the Laborers International Union of North America.
