Description

After months of debate, weeks of tense negotiations and 24 hours of Republican arm-twisting, President Trump has muscled his giant domestic-policy bill through both chambers of Congress.

It’s a major legislative victory for the president that paves the way for much of his second-term agenda, and it will have profound impacts across the country.

The Times journalists Tony Romm, Andrew Duehren and Margot Sanger-Katz discuss what the legislation changes, and those whose lives it will change the most.

Guest:

  • Tony Romm, a reporter covering economic policy and the Trump administration for The New York Times, based in Washington.
  • Andrew Duehren, who writes about tax policy for The New York Times from Washington.
  • Margot Sanger-Katz, a reporter for The New York Times who covers health care policy and government spending.
