Last Words Before a Big Date

Johanna Maska

Dec 12, 2023

The first presidential contest of 2024 kicks off with the Iowa Caucuses on Jan 15, 2024. GOP candidates are busy making their final case to voters. In this episode, Congressman Bob Good, the freshly elected House Freedom Caucus Chairman, talks about the state of the race, including his choice to endorse Gov. Ron DeSantis, and addresses recent Politico reporting on a recording of him saying why Ron DeSantis is a better candidate than Donald Trump, which he says was taken out of context. He also explains why he believes compromise will not work for Republicans. Plus, Johanna Maska and producer Christine Baratta discuss last week's Republican debate in Tuscaloosa — and what might play out in the new year.
