Are his policies ultimately beneficial, harmful, or somewhere in between? Expect candid insights, compelling arguments, and a lively exchange of perspectives.
Panelists include: Gabby Deutch, Senior National Correspondent at Jewish Insider; Eli Lake, columnist for The Free Press and host of Breaking History, a new history podcast; and Jonathan Weisman, journalist and author.
