Common Ground: Addressing the Lack of Bipartisan Solutions to Bipartisan Issues Jul 17, 2025

Show notes

While President Trump was successful in passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, he did so by only a narrow margin, an emerging pattern representative of a divided Congress. For Co-Chairs of the Problem Solvers Caucus, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), and Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-NY), the problem doesn’t lie with President Trump’s ideas, but rather with the lack of room for compromise.

The Congressmen discuss what they do and don’t support about President Trump’s agenda, how the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein case might affect midterms, and what message Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign sends to the rest of the Democratic party.
