Summary
This week on Face the Nation, as we close out 2024, we look ahead to the economy, health care, immigration and more as Washington ushers in a new Congress - and a new administration. We begin with our annual Face the Nation year-end correspondents' roundtable. Chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford, chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa, congressional correspondent Scott Macfarlane, political correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns and senior white house and political correspondent, Ed O'Keefe give us their insight and predictions. Dr. Leana Wen, former commissioner of the Baltimore City Health Department, breaks down the latest on the rise of bird flu and what to expect on the health policy front from the incoming administration. Bank of America’s Managing Director and Senior U.S. Economist Aditya Bhave tells us what’s in store for the economy in 2025. Finally, a conversation with Carlyle Group Co-founder Dave Rubenstein on his recent book exploring the American presidency. All that and more on Face the Nation.

| 0:55.9 | 2024, we of course want to look ahead of the economy, health care, immigration, so much more as Washington ushers in a new Congress, and importantly, a new administration. |
