Washington Week with The Atlantic - Backdrop

Overview

During a speech to the National Rifle Association, President Trump revived an old campaign slam at Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, dismissing his potential 2020 Democratic challenger as "Pocahontas." On the same trip, Trump raised money for Georgia Congressional candidate Karen Handel in her bid to beat Democrat Jon Ossoff in a seat held by Republicans for four decades. Plus, first daughter Ivanka Trump spoke in Berlin. And while the president will skip the annual White House Correspondents Dinner, he still craves media attention.
