This Week Key Art

ABC’s “This Week” returns Sunday with a lineup poised to dissect the evolving political landscape. FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell leads off, likely addressing disaster preparedness and response in the wake of the LA Wildfires. Given the current climate, expect pointed questions about resource allocation and interagency coordination.

Senator Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) follows, offering his perspective on the shifting power dynamics in Congress. Will he address the ongoing legislative battles, or will he focus on broader strategic considerations for the Democratic party? Either way, Schiff’s insights are rarely dull.

Then it’s Representative Tom Emmer’s (R-Minn.) turn. Emmer, known for his conservative stance, will likely share the Republican take on economic policy and domestic issues. Expect a robust exchange of ideas, if not outright fireworks.

Finally, Representative Mike Waltz (R-Fla.), President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for national security advisor, takes center stage. Waltz’s presence offers a glimpse into the incoming administration’s foreign policy priorities and potential challenges. This interview alone makes the episode required viewing for anyone interested in the future of US national security.
