As Washington gears up to host the inauguration of the 46th president of the United States next week, the country is on edge.

CQ Roll Call’s Jim Saksa speaks to elections analyst Nathan L. Gonzales about the future of the GOP. We also speak to chief Washington correspondent Niels Lesniewski about what to expect from President-elect Joe Biden after he is sworn in.
