I was so thrilled last night to listen to John Dickersons with with Steve Colbert, and I really can't say enough about John Dickerson slicing and dicing is the chief political correspondent at CBS and all that they're doing with the nightly news here in the future and joining us now. Margaret Brennan and knows John Dickerson so well. I'm absolutely fascinated.
Margaret Brennan of our CBS regroups off of the first Tuesday of November and reaches out to America with a heritage of Walter Cronkite being Midwest, not being New York. How will CBS reach out to America in the coming days and weeks.
Well, on Sunday, we'll try to understand what's coming next. So we will speak to Bill Haggerty, the Center from Tennessee, who is widely expected to become a cabinet member and a future Trump administration. He was a US ambassador to Japan for Donald Trump and the first term had a role in the transition. We want to talk to him about what reality looks like. You know, there's one thing to say things on the campaign trail. There's another thing
when it comes to actual governance. But what is this mandate that Republicans have with the Senate majority and possibly control of the House. What will it indicate for delivering on some of the campaign promises.
I look at this, Margaret, and you know, everybody of all different persuasions just sort of thunderstruck by how America spoke. What have you learned in your reporting from your correspondence in the last four days. What sticks out to you is that one conversation you had with the CBS team.
You know, Anthony's Toronto, our head of Elections and Surveys. I've fought back a few times to things he said in recent weeks that were, in hindsight, clear warnings for Democrats, like they had topped out their support on the issues of reproductive healthcare, states democracy, they weren't growing support. He consistently for months was telling us it's the economy, economy, economy, and inflation very much in Trump for we talked about a scenario with a Republican wave, but you know, the
polling bill was showing this race gone either way. I think we all Republicans as party members themselves, were surprised at how much they had grown support among men of color, Latino men in particular. We already knew they had the white working class vote, that that you know, so called bro vote had gone to the Trump team a long time ago. But I think we need to talk more
about that disconnect. We've try to do it on face the nation, but the disconnect between telling people the economic data is good and that not necessarily translating to it's going to get three books right your life. Margaret, let's me more reportings be done on that.
Let me bring in my colleague David David with Margaret Brenton.
Margaret, nice to speak with you. And you mentioned Bill Haggerty, and you know, I think of him on the Senate Banking Committee, which of course has been chaired for these last few years by Shared Brown of Ohio. And I'm curious to hear your perspective on sort of how the shape of the Senate changes in light of what we had happened this week. So Shared Brown of course no
longer on that committee, no longer in the Senate. What did you hear from miss McConnell yesterday as he took that victory lap and sort of what's your sense of the direction of this Republican Senate and sort of how it buffets whatever agenda President Trump puts forward.
Well, you know, I think we're seeing have been in the midst of a massive realignment. So like these old in terms of Republican and Democrats really aren't traditional conservative
any longer. Shared Brown was one of those examples of somebody who you know, trying to straddle the divide in many ways, as Democrat lost that seat to a Colombian American Bernie Uh you know there in Ohio and so together Ohio seat will become empty soon as Jade Vans moves into the vice see but look that that we're going to watch this race for control and Senate leadership right passing the tour mean that this is their quote unquote the place where stupid stuff goes to die. Does
it become a fast track for for Trump policies? Will it be that bar Mitch McConnell had it be Margaret.
I want to jump in, Margaret jump in. We're having trouble with the audio. You're up in your helicopter and it's just now working out that right now. But Margaret Brennan is the host of Face Nation.
