The Circus Season 6 Episode 16 Synopsis

The Circus examines the state of Biden's presidency one year in. Two critical races for governor - a loss in Virginia and a razor-thin win in New Jersey - send shockwaves through the White House and Democratic party as they look ahead to midterms in a year. Jennifer Palmieri speaks with Governor Phil Murphy moments after surviving re-election, while Alex Wagner speaks with Rep. Jim Clyburn about what Biden needs to do now to pass his agenda. John Heilemann talks with John Podesta and Mark McKinnon talks with Rep. Cheri Bustos.
