About this episode
The Heritage Foundation's "blueprint" for a new Republican administration got a lot of attention during the 2024 presidential campaign.

This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, White House correspondent Franco Ordoñez, and senior political editor & correspondent Domenico Montanaro.

The podcast is produced by Bria Suggs & Kelli Wessinger and edited by Casey Morell. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
