President Trump is angry that Senate Republicans haven't passed the Save America Act, a strict voter ID law that he has made his top legislative priority. And Senate Republicans are frustrated that Trump seems to be undermining their efforts to hold the Republican majority after the midterm election. We discuss the growing tensions and how they’re affecting lawmaking on the Hill. This episode: senior political correspondent Tamara Keith, congressional reporter Sam Gringlas, and White House correspondent Franco Ordoñez. This podcast was produced by Casey Morell and Bria Suggs, and edited by Rachel Baye. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
