New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker joins NJ PBS News with Rob Nelson for an extended one-on-one interview following his reelection to a third full term. Booker discusses the future of Democratic leadership in Congress, his plans to address the affordability crisis, opposition to immigration detention facilities in New Jersey and his proposal to put more money back in residents' pockets. Plus, could another presidential campaign be in his future?
In Washington, an effort to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has stalled following a House vote. NJ Spotlight News Washington reporter Ben Hulac breaks down the vote, how New Jersey's congressional delegation is responding and whether the impeachment effort could be revived when Democrats take control of Congress in January.
Plus, flu cases and emergency room visits are rising across New Jersey, and Secaucus-based children's clothing retailer The Children's Place has filed for bankruptcy, putting hundreds of jobs at risk. We also examine New Jersey's share of federal rural health care funding and highlight a Veterans Day ceremony in Camden County honoring local veterans.
