Summary

Congress has a lot it wants to take on when lawmakers return to Washington next week—police reform, Confederate names on military bases, and coronavirus relief. How likely are they to get any of it done? And the president has asked a new international development agency tasked with countering China to expand its responsibilities to include the US emergency stockpile of personal protective equipment.

This episode: campaign correspondent Scott Detrow, congressional reporter Claudia Grisales, election security editor Philip Ewing, and White House correspondent Franco Ordoñez.
