Jeffrey Goldberg is the new moderator of WASHINGTON WEEK WITH THE ATLANTIC. Known for its depth, balance and civil discourse, the program features a roundtable of journalists from print, broadcast and online news organizations who provide analysis of the week’s major national news stories and their impact on the lives of Americans.
Topics for Friday, April 26: Foreign Funding Fallout and College Campus Chaos:
President Joe Biden announced that critical weapons are being rushed to Ukraine after signing into law a $95 billion military aid package, which includes funding for Israel, Taiwan, and other foreign allies. This marks the end to the long-drawn-out fight on Capitol Hill over foreign funding, but the question remains: what will be the political ramifications for President Biden and Speaker Mike Johnson?
Meanwhile, Johnson was met with boos and pro-Palestinian chants at Columbia University’s protest on Wednesday, as college campuses across the country erupt in demonstrations against the war in Gaza.
Joining editor in chief of The Atlantic and moderator, Jeffrey Goldberg to discuss this and more:
- Peter Baker, Chief White House Correspondent, The New York Times
- Laura Barrón-López, White House Correspondent, PBS NEWSHOUR
- David Drucker, Senior Writer, The Dispatch
- Mara Liasson, National Political Correspondent, NPR
