The Weekend June 29 8a: The Rise of Political Violence

Yesterday, President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris attended the funeral of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, following a targeted political attack. Political violence has been steadily rising across the country and party lines, with several incidents occurring in just the past two weeks. Joyce Vance and George Conway join The Weekend to examine this troubling pattern and explore what—and who—is missing from the national conversation. Later, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear weighs in on how proposed Medicaid cuts in the GOP’s "Big Beautiful Bill," backed by President Trump, could affect hospitals across his state.
