The Biden administration has started to see ups and downs as it dives in on foreign and domestic policy issues. The new government is still battling congress to approve cabinet members and a COVID relief package but has scored big when brokering deals like the Merck/Johnson & Johnson vaccine partnership. Even in defeat, the new President is still maintaining a relatively civil discourse with Republicans AND Democrats and is actively getting both sides to the negotiating table.

As an anchor and correspondent who has covered global political and business issues, Jessica shares insight into how the news gets made, and introduces her new book about cross-cultural communication, Crossing the Divide.
