Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and Alabama Democratic Party Executive Committee member Lisa Handback take you through Alabama’s biggest political stories, including:

— What will President Donald Trump do with Congress’ latest stimulus/spending bill?

— How many people will end up joining U.S. Representative Mo Brooks’ (R-Huntsville) election challenge in the House and Senate?

— Why does former Governor Robert Bentley (R-AL) and current Governor Kay Ivey (R-AL) getting the COVID-19 vaccine upset people?

Jackson and Handback are joined by U.S. Representative Bradley Byrne (R-Fairhope) to discuss his time in Congress, the latest stimulus deal and election challenges.

Jackson closes the show with a “parting shot” at President Donald Trump, who is correct to be upset about the stimulus deal but wrong about why it is terrible.
