Al Franken served as a U.S. Senator from Minnesota from 2009 until January 2018, when he resigned following allegations of sexual misconduct. Franken currently hosts an eponymous podcast and stars in a one-man nationwide show called, “The Only Former Senator on Tour, Tour.” Franken discusses the strength of the Democrats’ messaging ahead of the midterm elections, the use of humor in politics, and the surprising strategy that Franken would use in a debate against Donald Trump.
Plus, Preet’s thoughts on Justice Clarence Thomas’s move to temporarily shield Lindsey Graham a Georgia subpoena and the latest reporting on the Mar-a-Lago documents case.
