Franken on why Trump has been an 'absolute failure'
Al Franken was a U.S. senator from Minnesota -- a state that is a flashpoint for the nation’s current movement for racial justice. Franken’s departure from public office also came during a period of major U.S. social change, the MeToo movement. Now host of his own podcast, Franken joins Judy Woodruff to discuss President Trump’s handling of the pandemic and why Joe Biden would be a better leader.
