Monday Morning Politics
As Democrats try to settle on a unified agenda in the wake of low Republican poll numbers, there’s still dispute over the how they should handle foreign policy. In a new book, former editor of The New Republic, Peter Beinart, says liberals should rally around a call to battle Islamic totalitarianism. He’ll explain why as he talks Monday Morning Politics. Plus: why there’s an outbreak of twins in New York and what next for Afghanistan?
