1A - The News Roundup For December 6, 2024

A manhunt is underway in New York City for the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. He was shot and killed on a busy Midtown Manhattan street in a targeted early morning attack.

And despite saying that he wouldn't do so, President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter, this week for federal crimes.

Also this week, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law. The move was rejected by the parliament and reversed by the president six hours later. His political future hangs in limbo.

And rebel groups now control significant parts of the Syrian cities of Aleppo and Hama, forcing government forces to retreat.

The Bulwark Podcast - Jamelle Bouie: Bad at Being President

Trump may have authoritarian aspirations, but he's very bad at governing and managing—four weeks into the transition, he's had two major Ls. Meanwhile, Democrats have to rebuild their connection to voters with local party clubs, and not wait until an election year. Plus, a reverse cancel culture is silencing any conversation about the role that gender and race played in Kamala's loss. And finding solace in the words of Frederick Douglass.

Jamelle Bouie joins Tim Miller.
