Summary

The president is standing by his nearly $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization fund," which even the administration admits could give money to violent January 6th offenders.

A move that some worry could backfire in November, perhaps even turning the seat and the Senate blue. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
