Mike talks with Scott Klug, an Emmy award-winning journalist, former member of Congress, and currently co-chair of the Federal Public Affairs Practice at the national law firm of Foley & Lardner. He’s also a podcaster - the founder and host of Lost in the Middle: America’s Political Orphans – and writes the Lost in the Middle Substack.

Topics Mike and Scott Discuss Include:

- Scott’s move from journalism to Congress to lobbyist

- changes in the GOP from Reagan to Trump

- corruption in Congress

- the importance of local investigative journalism

- why neither party seems to focus much on the middle

- institutional factors driving partisanship

- if things are likely to get worse before they get better
