Today's National Politics and Democrats' Prospects in 2020

A 2020 presidential campaign sign supporting President Donald Trump sits on a front lawn in Ray City, Ga.

Dan Balz, chief correspondent covering national politics, the presidency and Congress at The Washington Post, talks about the political news of the day, and about the Democrats' prospects ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

Was Khashoggi more of a villain than a victim in the Trump-Bannon worldview? Brian wonders if Trump is helping the Saudis get away with the death of Jamal Khashoggi, in order to send a message to intimidate journalists.

.@danbalz: "I would dearly hope that that is not the case."
