In the days since the 2020 election, political distrust and anxiety have only deepened. In this episode we discuss the case for compromise with two Members of Congress, one Republican and one Democrat. Both are members of Problem Solvers Caucus, a group of 25 members of each party who work together across rigid partisan divides.

Democrat Abigail Spanberger, the U.S. Representative for Virginia's 7th Congressional District, won a second term in an area narrowly won by Donald Trump. In the days after the election she made an outspoken criticism of progressives, telling fellow House Democrats that talk of socialism and defunding the police nearly led to her defeat.

Brian Fitzpatrick is a Republican Member of Congress, representing Pennsylvania's 1st Congressional District. A moderate who distanced himself from Donald Trump, Fitzpatrick also won re-election.
