On CNN’s State of the Union, Jake Tapper presses Republican Sen. Rick Scott over Elon Musk’s approach to slashing government, as well as President Trump’s whiplash-inducing tariff policies. Then, with Democrats facing a do-or-die moment this week on a potential government shutdown, Jake asks Democratic Sen. Andy Kim how he plans to vote. After, US Hostage Envoy Adam Boehler joins Jake fresh off his unprecedented meeting with Hamas in an effort to negotiate a hostage deal. Finally, Democratic Rep. Jake Auchincloss, Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales, CNN Political Commentator Ashley Allison, and Republican Pollster Brenda Gianiny join Jake Tapper to discuss a whirlwind political week, Trump’s pressure campaign against Ukraine, DOGE protests at GOP town halls, and the potential government shutdown.
