Madam Speaker Signing Off; Shutdown Turbulence Ahead
Manage episode 518064746 series 3673340
After nearly four decades in Congress, Nancy Pelosi says she’s done. The first and only woman to serve as speaker is stepping away from the House, closing a chapter that shaped modern Democratic politics. Senior politics reporter Jon Allen joins host Yasmin Vossoughian to look back at her legacy, from landmark wins to political battles and what her exit means for the next generation of leadership on Capitol Hill. And with Thanksgiving exactly three weeks away, brace yourself if you plan on flying. It’s Day 37 of the government shutdown, and the ripple effects are hitting the skies. The FAA says it’s cutting air traffic by 10% at 40 of the nation’s busiest airports to cope with staffing shortages. NBC News chief Capitol Hill Correspondent Ryan Nobles joins the pod to answer the question: Will this be the straw that breaks the camel’s back and ends the government shutdown?
