Politics: Georgia's Historic Election, Aftermath Of Pro-Trump Insurrection, And Boston Mayor Tapped By Biden

A note to our listeners:

We taped this segment hours before Boston Mayor Marty Walsh was tapped by President-elect Joe Biden to lead the U.S. Department of Labor.

There are just days to go before President-elect Joe Biden takes the oath of office, as the country continues to navigate political upheavals from Georgia to Washington, D.C. What's the fallout from a historic Senate election and a sitting president's overt campaign to overthrow certified election results?

And locally, state lawmakers are calling a Massachusetts climate bill the strongest measure of its kind in the country.

We discuss these stories and more in our politics roundtable.
