NPR’s Ayesha Rascoe on Biden, Branding, and Seeing The Pope


After Year One of a presidency that could be described in several ways, “uneventful” not among them, there was no shortage of material for President Trump to select from for his first State of the Union address.

In this week’s “TrumpWatch” on WBAI, host Jesse Lent discusses the meaning behind the President’s remarks with White House correspondent for Reuters Ayesha Rascoe.
