Description

P.M. Edition for June 6. As the dust settles from the blowup between President Trump and billionaire Elon Musk, Republicans choose sides even as some are asking why one of the most consequential alliances in modern American politics had to end this way. We hear from congressional reporter Olivia Beavers and columnist and host of the Bold Names podcast Tim Higgins on how we got here and what it means. Plus, job growth slowed in May, though less than economics expected. WSJ economics reporter Justin Lahart breaks down the numbers. And the Trump administration brings back Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man wrongfully deported to El Salvador, to face criminal charges in the U.S. Alex Ossola hosts.
