YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

“The Interview” invited three politicians, all of whom decided to leave the Senate at some point during the Trump era, to discuss the problems facing Congress. On the show are: Tina Smith, a Democratic senator from Minnesota, who is not running for re-election; Joe Manchin, a former senator from West Virginia, who was a Democrat and later a registered independent; and Jeff Flake, a former Republican senator from Arizona. In this clip, Smith talks about the issues that matter most to voters.
