Show notes

With the midterm elections reshaping Washington, what lies ahead for President Trump and a newly Democratic-led Congress?


This week on Ceasefire, guest host Greta Brawner, filling in for Dasha Burns, is joined by two military veterans serving in Congress: Democratic Rep. Jimmy Panetta of California and Republican Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska. They discuss the political fallout from the midterms, prospects for bipartisan cooperation, and the future of the war in Iran and other global conflicts.


Then, Democratic strategist Faiz Shakir, a former senior adviser to Sen. Bernie Sanders and manager of his 2020 presidential campaign, and Republican strategist Kevin Madden, a veteran of the John Boehner and Mitt Romney teams, offer their perspectives on the week's biggest political developments and what comes next for both parties.
