Download Path to the Presidency: New Orleans attack response
Donald Trump and Joe Biden have offered competing statements in the aftermath of the New Year’s killings. In a break with tradition, the president-elect has tried to wield his influence at home and abroad before officially taking office.
BBC chief presenters Sumi Somaskanda and Christian Fraser are joined by BBC supervising editor Courtney Subramanian to discuss the balance of power in Washington, Elon Musk’s growing involvement in world politics, and whether Congressman Mike Johnson has enough support to remain the speaker of the house.
