    Trump's Next Challenge: Confirming Cabinet Nominees

    President-elect Donald Trump has suggested he could rely on recess appointments to get his preferred cabinet picks into position if the Senate won't confirm them. But, some conservative legal scholars argue there's another — and untested — way around the Senate's constitutional role to provide "advice and consent" and it may lead to a clash. This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, national justice correspondent Carrie Johnson, and political correspondent Susan Davis. The podcast is produced by Jeongyoon Han and Kelli Wessinger, and edited by Casey Morell. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.

    Full Control: Republicans To Control Congress & White House

    Trump Won. What Happens to His Election Fraud Movement?

    Donald Trump's election win took the wind from the sails of his election fraud conspiracy movement. Following Vice President Harris' concession, the early stages of post-election administration went smoothly and largely without controversy, a stark contrast to the aftermath of the 2020 election. But are election lies going away? This episode: White House correspondent Deepa Shiviram, voting correspondent Miles Parks, and correspondent Shannon Bond.

    Cost Of Living, Personal Values Led Latino Voters To Trump

    Evangelical Latino voters at one Pennsylvania church told NPR that they thought Donald Trump would stick up for their values in office. And throughout the campaign, we heard from Latino voters frustrated that President Biden and Vice President Harris weren't doing enough to address their concerns about the cost of living. This episode: White House correspondent Deepa Shivaram, national political correspondent Sarah McCammon, and voting correspondent Ashley Lopez.

    So What Will Trump's Policies Mean For The Cost Of Living?

    Suffice it to say the economy is quite complicated and making sense of the specific impact of any one policy is quite difficult. But a number of the priorities President-elect Trump has championed, including mass deportations and steep tariffs, could all lead to yet another spike in the cost of living. This episode: White House correspondent Deepa Shivaram, senior national political correspondent Mara Liasson, and chief economics correspondent Scott Horsley.
