Mike Lawler Joins On NOTUS and Talks About “The Art of the Deal” in Congress

Republican Rep. Mike Lawler represents a swing district just north of New York City that was won by Kamala Harris in 2024, making him a constant target for Democrats. He joins NOTUS’ Reese Gorman for a conversation about how he makes deals in Congress and why he pushed for a health care subsidy deal — and shares his Donald Trump impression.

NOTUS is a newsroom like no other: a mix of veteran reporters and editors working with some of the country’s most promising up-and-coming reporters — individuals from different regions, backgrounds and beliefs who have come to Washington as fellows at the Allbritton Journalism Institute.

Together, we cover government and politics with the fresh eyes of newcomers and the expertise of veterans. We call it like we see it, no matter whose narrative it fits or how many clicks it will get.
