Immigration, O-Care to stir Sunday shows
By David McCabe
The beginning of ObamaCare’s second enrollment period and a forthcoming executive order on immigration will likely dominate Sunday’s political talk shows.
Secretary of Health and Human Services Sylvia Burwell will appear on “Meet The Press,” a day after HealthCare.gov opened for its second enrollment period.
Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), a major supporter of immigration reform, will join ABC's "This Week" as President Obama considers unilaterally curbing deportations.
One show will also feature some fresh faces: Senator-elect Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Senator-elect James Lankford (R-Okla.) will debut on "Fox News Sunday."
Here’s who you will hear from on Sunday morning:
NBC’s “Meet the Press”: Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) will be interviewed about his opposition to ObamaCare, the Keystone XL pipeline and whether he has presidential ambitions in 2016. Burwell will also appear.
ABC's "This Week": Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) will appear in addition to Gutierrez on the program’s roundtable.
CBS's “Face the Nation”: Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) will discuss some of the pressing issues before Congress. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who just returned from negotiating the release of two prisoners in North Korea, will weigh in on the show. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will discuss recent violence in the country and the looming Nov. 24 deadline for a nuclear deal with Iran. Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will talk about the GOP's resounding election victory, as well as other issues.
CNN's "State of the Union": Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), who serves as majority whip, will talk about Democrat’s midterm losses. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) will discuss net neutrality. Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) will talk about the looming immigration battle.
Fox News Sunday: Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) will discuss the battle over the Keystone XL pipeline. Senator-elect Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Senator-election James Lankford (R-Okla.) will talk about their agenda for the next Congress.
