The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns.

Brad is first joined by Charlie Cook, Editor and Publisher of the 'Cook Political Report.' His Twitter handle is @CharlieCookDC.
The two preview the Georgia Senate runoff elections. They also discuss what they believe a Biden administration will look like, and what it might be able to accomplish depending on whether the Senate will be controlled by Republicans or Democrats.
During the second half of the show, Brad leads a political round-table with Tara Devlin and Mark Grimaldi. The roundtable details the dire need for a COVID-19 stimulus package. Unless Congress swiftly passes a stimulus bill:
- Nearly 7 million Americans are at risk of being evicted and without homes as the CDC’s temporary moratorium on evictions is set to expire Dec. 31;
- Millions more will slip into poverty and become food insecure;
- On Dec. 26, 12 million more unemployed people will lose their federal and state unemployment benefits as the remaining $300 weekly bonus as the CARES Act dries up
- The pause on federal student loans is set to end on Jan. 31, meaning loan officers will soon be able to start charging interest again
Brad, Tara and Mark also discuss whether they believe Trump will be the Republican nominee for President in 2024.
