What's behind one California billionaire's push to impeach President Trump?

KQED political reporter Marisa Lagos says it may be Steyer's first attempt to introduce himself to the general public. 



It's everywhere. I think it was on Fox and Friends this morning, which is probably why the President saw it. It does really continue to raise these questions we've all been whispering for a while which is: what is his endgame? What is he running for — or is he going to run at all?

Guests:

  • Marisa Lagos, political reporter for KQED
  • Rachel VanSickle Ward, associate professor of politics at Pitzer College
