President Trump could be facing Republican pushback from soon-to-be former senators. Panelists on Washington Week With The Atlantic joined last night to discuss the group known as the YOLO caucus, and more.

Breaks between the GOP and the president could have a particular effect on the ongoing Iran war, Nancy Youssef, a staff writer at The Atlantic, said last night. “The idea that we’re starting to see fissures within [Trump’s] own party, I think, potentially gives Iran some leverage in terms of pushing for a deal that is more favorable to them,” she argued. “We’ve seen the president really toggle between trying to end this war as quickly as possible and also get some wide-reaching, headline-grabbing outcome out of it.”

Joining the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, to discuss this and more: Stephen Hayes, the editor of The Dispatch; Annie Linskey, a White House reporter at The Wall Street Journal; Michael Scherer, a staff writer at The Atlantic; and Youssef.
