As the Incoming White House chief of staff. But with progressives demanding a seat at the table amid a struggle over the partys direction, the question is, will ron klain be able to assemble a staff that doesnt divide everybody more . Its way too early for this. Good morning, and welcome to way too early, the show that did concede to the alarm clock this morning after a hardfought recount. Im kasie hunt on this thursday, november 12th. Well start with the news.
