Welcome to “Examining Politics,” a daily podcast production of the Washington Examiner.
On the Thursday editions of “Examining Politics,” Salena Zito brings her unique take on American politics, where “Main Street Meets The Beltway.” Zito prioritizes the stories and opinions of Americans across the country over politicians and bureaucracy. Having traveled across the heartland extensively throughout the 2016 campaign, Zito gathered countless stories from people of all backgrounds, leading her to correctly predict President Trump’s victory in November. Every Thursday, she’ll focus on these individuals – their needs, concerns and hopes for their futures – and what their expectations are from both local and federal government.
