Biden’s Parting Gifts | The Roundtable Ep. 245

As Biden’s lame duck administration winds down, he—or whoever’s in charge—is leaving a few fun parting gifts for the incoming Trump Administration. From escalation in Ukraine, to a re-opened border surprise, to the intractable financial situation, Trump’s team will have their work cut out for them. Democrat strategists, however, seem determined not to learn anything from their electoral failure, which bodes well for the future. So the editors remain optimistic—and thankful. Ryan gives a spirited reading of Washington’s 1789 Thanksgiving proclamation, and the guys swap notes on holiday plans.
