Getting to Yes: Finding Consensus in a Divided Congress
In a polarized, highly partisan Congress, fierce ideological battles often prevent cooperation and compromise. However, bipartisan solutions are often the key to breaking legislative gridlock and achieving lasting reform. In this conversation, Rep. Charlie Dent (R-PA), co-chair of the Tuesday Group, and Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), chair of the New Democrat Coalition, assessed the political and electoral forces shaping today's policy environment, the "middle" of American politics, and the possibilities that exist to find consensus in a shifting landscape.
This interview was conducted by PBS NewsHour's Lisa Desjardins.
