President Donald Trump might be holding off on his participation in the transition process, but Congress is not. New members report to Capitol Hill this week for orientation, and in this special episode of the Political Theater podcast, we talk to CQ Roll Call’s Katherine Tully-McManus and Mark Satter about some of the demographic shifts in the next freshman class.
