US: Jan 6 hearing hiatus, Biden Covid recovery, big week for economic data

From Nine To Noon, 9:45 am on 26 July 2022

US correspondent Ron Elving joins Kathryn to talk about the last January 6 hearing ahead of the summer break, and why it may have done more damage to Donald Trump than the previous seven.

Will his waning influence be evident in the August primaries?

Ron Elving is Senior Editor and Correspondent on the Washington Desk for NPR News.
