NYU Law School professor Bob Bauer served as White House counsel under Barack Obama and as senior advisor to Joe Biden on his 2020 campaign. He has written extensively on a range of topics including the rule of law, election safeguards, national security, and the power of the presidency.

In the early days of President Biden's new administration, President Hamilton talks to Bauer about how the US can and should move forward after a period of fracture perhaps unlike any seen since the Civil War.
