Southwestern Texas congressional
district 23 stretches from western San Antonio to just outside El Paso.
Democratic Party candidate Gina Ortiz Jones could become the
first Iraq War veteran, first Filipina-American and first out-lesbian to
represent Texas in Congress if she can unseat three-term incumbent Will Hurd.
She narrowly lost to him in 2018 and is back to win in 2020. She joins me on
the show today to talk all about her campaign.
From growing calls for
an impeachment inquiry to pushing back on Trump’s proposed tariffs on Mexico to
Trump’s tweeting about Pride Month while the administration rolls back LGBTQ
rights, we’ve been watching everything on Capitol Hill. Congressional
Progressive Caucus co-chair Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI-02) joins me to talk about the latest news from Congress and
beyond.
This sure has been
another crazy week in politics what with more Democratic Representatives
calling for impeachment, job numbers declining and Trump’s battle over tariffs
on Mexico. Joining me today to help us
wrap up the week in politics is Eleanor Clift the Washington correspondent for The Daily Beast, where she covers the White House and writes about politics and
culture.
