WAMC's Dr. Alan Chartock discusses U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich, who recently dismissed most of a series of lawsuits against the Trump administration over the clearing of protesters at Lafayette Square last year. Dr. Chartock also considers whether Republican candidates could ever stand a chance in the country's largest cities. Also in the headlines: the Trump Organization is suing New York City for terminating its contracts after the Capitol riot.
