On today’s call, GOP Strategist and former COO of TARP Howard Schweitzer, Democratic strategist and former member of the Obama-Biden Presidential Transition Team Mark Alderman, and former chief of staff to two attorneys general Blake Rutherford discuss Tuesday’s closely watched special election in Pennsylvania’s 18th congressional district – a district which President Trump won by 20 point in 2016. With Democrat Conor Lamb the apparent winner, Howard, Mark and Blake break down what the race means for the 2018 Midterms and the Republican Party. Also on today’s call, Howard, Mark and Blake discuss the impacts of recent turmoil within the Trump administration, including yesterday’s firing by tweet of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
