The Democrats’ Dianne Feinstein Problem

[alabdy]

For the past few months, a single lawmaker has prevented Democrats from carrying out their agenda in Congress. For now, there is no simple solution in sight.

Annie Karni, a congressional correspondent for The Times, explains the issue surrounding Senator Dianne Feinstein.

Guest: Annie Karni (https://www.nytimes.com/by/annie-karni), a congressional correspondent for The New York Times.

Background reading:
