Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan

Listen to Margaret Brennan's full interview with Calley Means, former White House senior adviser and top adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Part of this interview aired on Face the Nation Nov. 8, 2026.

This week on Face the Nation, in the aftermath of Tuesday's blue tsunami, Republicans regroup, President Trump makes a major staff change at the White House and Democrats now face daunting challenges when it comes to getting stuff done.  Last week's decisive repudiation of the Trump agenda now puts Democrats on the spot, the pressure's on them to fix what voters say is wrong with the country.  And that democratic to do list is a daunting one.  Democrats may have won a healthy majority on Capitol Hill, but not a veto proof margin.  Can the two branches of government actually work together?  We'll talk with two key players about the potential of bipartisanship when it comes to banking and financial legislation: Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren and Arkansas Congressman Republican French Hill. At the White House, the finger pointing over what led to the devastating defeat for the GOP intensifies, as  Susie Wiles departs and Stephen Miller becomes the President's powerful Chief of Staff.  We talked with former White House health policy advisor Calley Means, who's gone public with damning accusations against Wiles and other top White House aides, saying they put special interests ahead of the MAHA agenda before the midterm elections. Did Means' allegations lead to Wiles' ouster?  It’s all just ahead on Face the Nation. 

Democrats have taken control of the House and the Senate, winning every battleground state and flipping seats they haven’t won in decades. Lakshya Jain of The Argument, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and 60 Minutes Correspondent Ross Douthat weigh in on what the win means and what comes next.If you’d like to share your own great question, email us at [email protected].

Margaret Brennan sat down with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro last week in Phoenixville, PA. They discussed the midterm elections, the measles outbreak in his state, and more.

This week on Face the Nation, it's down to the wire when it comes to the midterms and the Campaigner in Chief is making one final trip to the heartland to get his party to the polls. In this last weekend before election day, it's time for the final campaign push. More than 52 million votes have already been cast, but there are tens of millions still out there and all eyes are on Election Day.  We'll talk with Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, New York Republican Congressman Mike Lawler and a look at what's ahead with Pennsylvania Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro. It's all just ahead on Face the Nation.
