Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin was first elected to the House in 2016, just as Donald Trump ascended to the presidency for the first time.
Since then, few Democrats have worked as aggressively to hold the president accountable for what he sees as violations of law and constitutional order.
Raskin led the second impeachment trial of President Trump for his actions on January 6th and now acts as the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee.
When elected to the position in December, Raskin vowed to use what power he had to “advance the legislation, amendments and arguments that will block a further descent into MAGA chaos.”
Though he acknowledges the criticism from many Democratic voters that the party seemed stunned into silence during early days of Trump’s second term, he tells Diane, “It’s not like that anymore, nobody is asleep now!”
On this week’s episode of On My Mind, Diane speaks with Rep. Raskin about Trump’s defiance of court orders, DOGE’s access to private data and the Democratic response.
