Trump's SOTU Address (and Abrams's Response) Preview
Bloomberg White House reporter Jennifer Epstein talks about what to expect from President Trump's State of the Union address and other political developments.
"How much anti-Trump is too much? How do you at once stand up for your values… while also pushing back on Trump’s falsehoods? It’s the inherent challenge that every Democrat faces," says @jeneps.

This was an effort on leadership not to put their hand on the scale either way for anyone who is in the presidential race," says @jeneps.
