Weekly Roundup: August 27th

Weekly Roundup: August 27th

President Biden has warned there could be more violence coming over the weekend in Afghanistan. Yesterday's attack at Kabul's airport could be a preview of the disarray that could be in store for the country after the U.S. finally exits. And: it is still unclear where tens of thousands of evacuated Afghans will be allowed to resettle.

Also, voting rights activists will take to the streets across the country this weekend to pressure President Biden and congressional Democrats to take aggressive action on voting rights. The protests come as Republican-controlled state legislatures continue to pass measures that advocates say make it harder to vote.

This episode: White House correspondent Scott Detrow, White House correspondent Franco Ordoñez, national security correspondent Greg Myre, and politics and racial justice correspondent Juana Summers.
