    We’re talking a lot about Trump’s infrastructure plan: what are his priorities and would his voters support it? Plus, high housing starts, low oil prices and Too Big To Fail.

  • Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump sits down with a group of invited small business owners for a round table meeting at the Staybridge Suites on November 1, 2016 in Altoona, Wisconsin.

    The surging dollar is going to make job creation more complicated under President-elect Trump. Plus, the question isn’t “when will we run out of oil?” It’s “when will we need to stop pumping so much?” Finally, a conversation with Anna Kendrick.

  • A Trump supporter takes the escalator to the 2nd level at Trump Tower as President-elect Donald Trump holds meetings in his office at Trump Tower on 5th Avenue November 11, 2016.

    Facebook and Google are figuring out how to handle fake news. Plus, we look at Donald Trump’s conflicts of interest and James Fallows tells us about the president-elect’s relationship with China. Finally, two voters in Alabama reflect on the election.

    As the nation moves forward from last week’s election, we ask: What happens to the Democrats’ economic agenda now? We also take a look at what might happen to federal employees at agencies such as the Department of Education under Trump’s administration. Finally: People have had enough of this election. Over the weekend, movie ticket sales surged 50 percent and NFL ratings were on the rise — Americans might be ready for a little escape from the news. 

  • President-elect Donald Trump speaks to the press with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell following a meeting at the Capitol.

    We’re still asking, after Tuesday’s shocking upset that elected Donald Trump president, “What now?” Today we look at the president-elects policies on infrastructure, technology and trade. Plus, how will he go about reversing President Barack Obama’s executive orders, as he promised? Finally, we talk about the difference between politics and governance in the Weekly Wrap.

  • A business man walks outside of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on October 7, 2016 in New York City.

    We’re continuing to try and answer the big question of this election: “What now?” Today we’re looking at corporate tax reform, environmental policy and Dodd-Frank under President Trump. Plus, is there stagflation in our future?

  • Supporters pledge allegiance to the flag before Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally in October at the Spire Institute in Geneva, Ohio.

    Of the many questions raised by last night’s election, this is perhaps the most fundamental: What happens now? We have wall-to-wall coverage of Donald Trump’s victory today, starting with a special edition of the Weekly Wrap. Then: A common refrain today is “the polls got it wrong.” Did they? We asked our pollster. Plus, deep dives on what the Trump administration will do about trade and health care. Finally, we talk with the Rust Belt voters who helped elect Trump, and now expect him to deliver.

  • As we anxiously await the election results, we have a big helping of comfort food on the show today, and a few other bits of election counter-programming: The path to Brexit is getting more complicated and Tesla’s taking away free charging while Hertz is running out of gas. Plus — since we can’t stay away from the campaign entirely — what will cable news do when the dust clears on 2016?

  • The stage is seen as workers prepare the Jacob K. Javits Center for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's election night event in New York City. Clinton's event will cap a contentious campaign against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

    They’re just one day left til the election, but both candidates are still hitting up voters for money. What do they spend it on this late in the game? Plus, climate change has been largely ignored during the presidential election, but local campaigns are another matter entirely. Also: Latino voters are considered a prized voting bloc in many battleground states, but many opinion polls leave them off. Why? Finally, because we need a little escapism this late in the campaign: “Doctor Strange” pulled in $85 million at the box office this weekend, cementing Marvel’s reputation for pitching D-List comics heroes at a general audience.
