As the pandemic continues raging, the nation faces its biggest challenge yet as schools across the country reopen this fall, some virtually, some in-person. Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, joins the podcast to talk about the tough challenge educators face. Plus, Daniella and Jesse discuss the scandalous week President Trump made for himself in the wake of his shocking remarks, in recordings from journalist Bob Woodward, that revealed his knowledge of COVID-19.
