Episode 159: Could This Woman Replace Biden?

Trump is trouncing his Republican challengers; Democrats are fretting about Biden’s age. This week, Peter Osnos has a look at a woman who many believe is a future presidential candidate: Gretchen Whitmer. Then Flora Gill answers the question: Why do so many men think about the Roman Empire all the time? And she explains why this preoccupation among men has become the hottest trend on social media. And finally, George Kalogerakis will share what he’s learned about a woman whom you might call a “Real Housewife of the Senate.” That’s Nadine Menendez, the wife of Senator Robert Menendez. Both of them are facing corruption allegations, and the details are pretty wild.
