Sunday on State of the Union

The Republicans launch a special committee to investigate Benghazi; but will it have any credibility if the Democrats boycott it?  Plus, surprising new CNN/ORC polls on President Obama’s signature health care law reveal Obamacare may be here to stay. Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Congresswoman Michele Bachmann are working moms at the highest levels of government and they join us live.

What is Rick Santorum’s role in a 2016 Republican presidential field? The former Senator and 2012 Iowa Caucus winner gauges the Tea Party’s strength, the role of social issues in politics, and why the Congressional Republican opposition to a minimum wage increase “makes no sense.”

Hilary Rosen, Susan Page, and Ramesh Ponnuru on what Monica Lewinsky in 2014 means to Hillary Clinton in 2016.

And what do women want? In a special Mother’s Day edition of our 12pET show, authors and moms Claire Shipman, Iris Krasnow, and Jennifer Senior join esteemed mom and grandmom Candy Crowley for a frank discussion about women’s role in the world.  If you are a woman or know a woman, you won’t want to miss this one.

Sunday 9am and noon ET.

This is a political stunt," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Friday. We'll talk about the politics of Benghazi with DNC Chairwoman and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Rep. Michele Bachmann Sunday on State of the Union.
