Donald Trump is heading back to the White House. And as Trump takes his oath of office, a powerhouse panel of experts weighs a variety of issues facing the country.
Last 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 addresses those topics and more in a special edition of The Wheelhouse recorded in front of a LIVE audience in Hartford.
Also, lawmakers are back to work in Connecticut. We’ll check in on how some of the issues on the minds of Wheelhouse listeners are being talked about inside the State Capitol building.
And finally – surprise guests add some levity to a night of political forecasting.
