Description

Amazon has finally announced the big winners in its search for homes for its second and third headquarters. Long Island City in NY and Crystal City in the Northern Virginia area of DC. Each site will split $5 billion in investment from Amazon and each have more than 25,000 employees.  The consolation prize goes to Nashville, Tennessee, where Amazon will open a new operations center with more than 5,000 jobs. My producer Miranda joins us for all the details and tax incentives.

Next, Democrats have flipped a Senate seat, this time in Arizona, where Rep. Kyrsten Sinema defeated Rep. Martha McSally. This victory guarantees that Democrats will hold at least 47 seats. Zach Montelarro, campaign reporter for Politico, joins us to discuss the strategy that won Sinema the seat, and what the win means for the Democrats who have not had a win there since 1976.

Finally, some shakeups coming to the White House where Deputy National Security Advisor Mira Ricardel has been fired, and rumors of Chief of Staff John Kelly and DHS secretary Kirstjen Nielson on the chopping block next. One person we know is out… is CNN’s Jim Acosta who had his press pass taken away by the Secret Service.  CNN in now suing to get him back in. Haley Britzky, reporter for Axios joins us for the continued fight between the White House and CNN.
