Summary

Every four years, Congress meets to certify the results of the previous November's presidential election in what is usually a calm and straightforward event. But, after the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021, lawmakers made some changes. We look at what they are, and how things look different today than they did four years ago.

Then, as President-elect Trump plans to return to office with Republican majorities in both houses, a look at what Congress' new legislative priorities include.

This episode: White House correspondent Asma Khalid, congressional correspondent Claudia Grisales, and political correspondent Susan Davis.

The podcast is produced by Bria Suggs & Kelli Wessinger, and edited by Casey Morell. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
