On Tuesday, voters in San Francisco overwhelmingly elected to recall three “woke” school board members. It is the latest chapter in a national debate over who controls public education. And a new survey from RealClear Opinion Research shows that, 13 months after President Trump left office, Americans have become even more politically polarized. What does it mean for the midterms? Also, the State of the Union address is right around the corner. Support for local law enforcement will almost certainly be a key issue. Will President Biden use the speech as an opportunity to bury the phrase “Defund the Police?” President and co-founder of RealClearPolitics Tom Bevan, Washington bureau chief Carl Cannon, and columnist and associate editor A.B. Stoddard join Andrew Walworth on today’s RealClearPolitics Takeaway podcast.
