A new week in Washington, and the political turmoil is only getting bigger.
Democrats are returning to Capitol Hill after a historic midterm victory, but instead of celebrating, the party is confronting a growing leadership battle.
More than one million people have signed a petition urging Democrats not to elect Hakeem Jeffries as the next Speaker of the House. Newly elected progressive lawmakers are refusing to commit their support, while Chuck Schumer faces mounting questions about his future as Senate Democratic leader.
Can Jeffries and Schumer unite their party, or is a new generation demanding a different direction?
Meanwhile, Donald Trump's White House is undergoing a major shake-up.
Stephen Miller officially takes over as White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles. And already, another longtime Trump ally is heading for the exit. Miller's expanded influence raises serious questions about the future of Trump's immigration crackdown, executive power and government accountability.
Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward, joins us live to discuss Miller's rise to power, the legal battles surrounding Trump's policies and what Congress can do to hold the administration accountable.
Don breaks down the growing leadership battles in both parties, the pressure facing Jeffries and Schumer, and what these developments mean for the next two years in Washington.
