U.S. President-elect Donald Trump speaks to members of the media during a press conference at the Mar-a-Lago Club on January 07, 2025 in Palm Beach, Florida.

Donald Trump is heading back to the White House.

His formal return to the Oval Office is January 20 and before Trump swears on a bible, a powerhouse panel of experts will weigh a variety of issues facing the country.

Earlier this year, we asked our audience to identify election issues they care most about. More than 750 people responded to our survey and many of them wanted to hear more about presidential candidates’ plans to address the economy, immigration, climate change, democracy, and reproductive rights.

Our panel will address each of those topics in a special edition of The Wheelhouse recorded in front of a LIVE audience on January 15 at Connecticut Public in Hartford. The event begins at 6 p.m. Tickets are available here: xxx.

Also, lawmakers are back to work in Connecticut. We’ll check in on how some of these issues voiced by Wheelhouse listeners are being talked about inside the State Capitol building.

And finally – expect visits from some surprise guests ;).

GUESTS:

  • Mark Pazniokas, Capitol bureau chief and a co-founder, CT Mirror
  • Susan Raff, Chief political reporter, WFSB Eyewitness News Ch. 3
  • Bilal Sekou: Hillyer College Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Hartford
