Pressure to the breaking point for election officials

The fourth public hearing this month by the January 6th committee focused on how former President Trump and key allies put pressure on election officials, to promote the lie that there was widespread election fraud in 2020. Many of the witnesses testified on the personal toll that Trump’s lies were taking on them and their families. Plus: new details of the failed response in Uvalde. And: how companies can think differently to get and keep workers today. Guests: Axios' Alayna Treene and Jim VandeHei.
