Update: 2025-10-08
Description
Recent political violence – and a government shutdown – have turned American politics into a mudslinging free for all.

Today on The Wheelhouse, a temperature check on political dialogue with a college Democrat and a college Republican. How are these Connecticut students charting a path forward?
