Episode Synopsis

Call it The Great Divide, call it Chaos in Congress. Political divisions have always been a part of American politics, but it seems that these days, those divisions are set in something even stronger than stone, and the American people know it, based on those very low approval ratings you see.  In 2020 and now heading into 2021 and beyond, regardless of who controls the White House, the Senate, the House of Representatives, is there a place for bipartisanship and civility in the halls of Congress? This week’s guests say yes.  Our two guests this week are co-editors of the new book A Divided Union: Structural Challenges to Bipartisanship in America, available now from Routledge. Former Congressmen Patrick Murphy and David Jolly are the guests on Central Florida: Beyond the Soundbite.
