The Wheelhouse: Trump Chastised, But Rift Within Democratic Party Remains

Connecticut's five U.S. Representatives stood with their Democratic colleagues and four Republicans Tuesday in rebuking President Donald Trump for his Twitter attacks against a group of minority congresswomen who have become known as "The Squad."

Now what?

Today we look at what the House resolution, approved on a  240-187 vote, means for an increasingly divided Democratic Party, and the 2020 presidential election.

Here in Connecticut, Gov. Ned Lamont is dangling a new deal before state lawmakers to draw them back to Hartford this year to vote on a highway toll plan. Will they bite?

We also look into the Lamont administration's sudden change of course when it comes to picking the state's next education commissioner.
