Governors Revolt Over Covid Mandates, Afghan Aftermath, and Inflation Hits a 40-Year High

Episode Summary

This week many of the nation’s governors, including leaders of some of the bluest of blue states, moved to begin ending indoor mask mandates, as new Covid cases begin to decline. That puts them at odds with the CDC and the White House, who want restrictions to continue. Also this week, reports out of Afghanistan continue to be grim. Efforts to evacuate the many Afghans targeted by the Taliban for helping the US continue to falter. And new economic data shows inflation hit 7.5 percent in January. With the midterms fast approaching, should Democrats be worried? Carl Cannon, RealClearPolitics Washington bureau chief, Susan Crabtree, national and White House correspondent, and Eric Felten, investigative correspondent for RealClear Investigations join Andrew Walworth on today’s RealClearPolitics Takeaway podcast.
