Summary
Stepping away from a safe seat after 14 years on Capitol Hill is a choice few politicians make. With his final term coming to a close, Montana Republican Senator Steve Daines joins the Rundown for an exclusive exit interview. Senator Daines reflects on transitioning from a nearly three decade career in the private sector to Congress, why business accountability is lacking in Washington, and how social media and a 24/7 news cycle drive institutional dysfunction. Plus, his take on the future of the Senate filibuster and the rising personal costs of running for office. PHOTO CREDIT: AP PHOTO Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
