Susan Rice discusses possibilities for a divided nation upon leaving administration.

Susan Rice, President Biden's chief domestic policy adviser, is stepping down from her post. Rice discusses the challenges faced by the administration on divisive issues such as gun control and immigration. She argues that the best hope has often been to take the least bad option. The administration has made progress on specific policy changes, such as expanding postpartum Medicaid coverage and launching the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. However, more dramatic measures such as a renewed assault-weapons ban appear politically out of reach. Rice acknowledges that the least bad option may not always be enough, but it counts among the instances during her tenure in which it was good enough.
