Although President Joe Biden‘s controversial pardoning of his son, Hunter Biden remained a hot topic yesterday. The conversation switched back to the transition of presidential power and controversy over President-elect Donald Trump‘s department nominations and appointments focusing now on the embattled nomination of Pete Hegseth to head the Department of Defense. There was a lot of talk about the NYC assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Tariffs and a looming trade war came in fourth followed closely by Trump’s proposed budget cuts and layoffs of Federal employees, the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire, the Russia-Ukraine war, the migrant crisis, and health care/abortion rights, according to ongoing research from TALKERS.
