LARRY with Larry O'Connor

Chuck Schumer is taking a victory lap—but the Democrats he helped elect aren’t all lining up behind him.

Then Donald Trump delivers a compliment that gives Larry the perfect punchline.

Why did voters over 50 break toward Democrats—and what should Republicans learn from it?

Larry challenges Republicans to offer a health care agenda that goes beyond blaming Obamacare.

Democrats promised to tackle affordability. So why is everyone talking about subpoenas, investigations, and impeachment? Larry O’Connor contrasts Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer’s public priorities with comments from Rachel Maddow, Jamie Raskin, Robert Garcia, and Hillary Clinton—and argues that “accountability” signals the next fight with President Trump.
