Listen to Margaret Brennan's full interview with Calley Means, former White House senior adviser and top adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Part of this interview aired on Face the Nation Nov. 8, 2026.

This week on Face the Nation, in the aftermath of Tuesday's blue tsunami, Republicans regroup, President Trump makes a major staff change at the White House and Democrats now face daunting challenges when it comes to getting stuff done. 

Last week's decisive repudiation of the Trump agenda now puts Democrats on the spot, the pressure's on them to fix what voters say is wrong with the country.  And that democratic to do list is a daunting one. 

Democrats may have won a healthy majority on Capitol Hill, but not a veto proof margin.  Can the two branches of government actually work together? 

We'll talk with two key players about the potential of bipartisanship when it comes to banking and financial legislation: Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren and Arkansas Congressman Republican French Hill.

At the White House, the finger pointing over what led to the devastating defeat for the GOP intensifies, as  Susie Wiles departs and Stephen Miller becomes the President's powerful Chief of Staff.  We talked with former White House health policy advisor Calley Means, who's gone public with damning accusations against Wiles and other top White House aides, saying they put special interests ahead of the MAHA agenda before the midterm elections. Did Means' allegations lead to Wiles' ouster?

This week on Face the Nation with control of congress on the line, closing arguments from Republicans and Democrats are coming into focus with just days to go until the midterm elections.

Two presidents with competing visions for America, neither on the ballot, delivering dueling messages in battleground states where control of Congress could be decided.

But President Trump's final push extends beyond the campaign trail. The Justice Department is stepping up its efforts to intervene with a series of legal challenges and lawsuits.

This week on Face the Nation, midterm elections campaigning enters the home stretch, and President Trump's latest move to ease pressure on Vladimir Putin sparks fury among some Republicans.

From east to west, and far north to deep south, it's down to the sweet sixteen for the 2026 candidates, even for the politician whose name won't actually appear on any ballot this year. 

But will the rallies be enough to reverse those hurricane force headwinds the President is facing?  We have brand new polling on that Texas race, it's one of the tightest toss ups in the country. 

We'll also look at the President's latest move to make it easier for Vladimir Putin to sell oil, an executive order freezing the just passed Lindsey Graham law intended to cut off funding for Putin’s war chest.

Ohio Republican Congressman Mike Turner and North Dakota Senator Kevin Cramer will weigh in on that. Finally, we'll talk with Florida Democratic Senate Candidate Angie Nixon.

This week on Face the Nation, President Trump scrambles to cut last minute deals ahead of the midterms, the latest prompting backlash within his own party. Twenty three days to go before the votes are counted and the atypical campaign continues.

Late Friday, Trump cut a deal with Vladimir Putin to import Russian diesel exports in an effort to lower the price of fuel in the US. 

That deal came with a whack at Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, who America has supported throughout its four and a half year war with Russia. 

But will Trump's deal with Putin prompt even more Republican candidates to distance themselves from him? We'll ask the number two in the Senate, Wyoming Republican John Barrasso.

With control of the House and Senate at stake, President Trump has been on a red state road trip to get Republicans to the polls. 

Our new CBS poll has troubling news for the President's party.  With 9 in 10 voters saying they rate the economy on the basis of prices, 7 in 10 say that Trump's policies are making food and grocery prices go up, and 9 in 10 says the conflict with Iran is making US gas and oil prices either a lot or a little higher. With early voting now underway, it may be too late for Trump to turn things around. 

We'll talk with energy Secretary Chris Wright about new efforts to get gas prices down. Plus we'll ask Zach Lahn , the Republican running for governor in Iowa. 

Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly also weighs in.  

All that and more ahead on Face the Nation. 

This week on Face the Nation, President Trump turns his focus to the midterm elections, following a week of high-stakes summits with foreign allies and adversaries.

The president spent much last week striding the world stage without ever leaving the U.S., first delivering a stark warning to Iran in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly.

So what is the status of that potential deal? In a network exclusive, we'll hear from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on his country's latest offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the conflict.

Then, Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to Washington drew no shortage of pomp and circumstance, but behind it all, serious tensions remain. Chief among them, the status of Taiwan. We'll check in with the territory's representative to the U.S., Ambassador Alexander Yui.

This week on Face the Nation, President Trump bars three major news organizations from covering the White House as Republican concern over the impact of his policies continues to grow.

The countdown clock to the midterm elections continues to tick down, but the rest of the numbers affecting the economy continue to go up. We're now 200 days into the war with Iran...and gas prices remain high, with diesel prices at new record highs.

But promises those gas prices will come down soon are wearing thin with some Republicans. Especially in Iowa, where farmers are struggling and where two House Republicans in tight races voted last week to oppose the President's open-ended war in Iran. And Trump's deportation policy is an issue for Republicans in some districts, Florida Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar made a direct appeal to the President in a campaign ad.

We'll talk with Congresswoman Salazar, California Democrat Ro Khanna, plus Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy and Trump first term economic advisor Gary Cohn.

This week on Face the Nation, there are new signs of resiliency in the job market, but prices remain high.

As Americans hit the roads and skies before the end of summer, gasoline prices are at the highest ever for a Labor Day weekend. One major factor behind elevated prices: the war with Iran, which flared up again last week.

What could that conflict – plus a new landmark U.S. oil deal with Venezuela – mean for consumers in the U.S.? We'll ask Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who's just back from Caracas.

Plus, as Republicans begin to make their case to fall voters at its first ever GOP midterm convention. We'll hear from the fourth ranking Republican in the House, Michigan Congresswoman Lisa McClain and the Co-Chair of the GOP Midterm Convention, businessman and Sunoco chairman Ray Washburne.

The country's debt reached unprecedented levels last week and president Trump's Treasury Secretary intervened to lower borrowing costs. And a new trade war this weekend with neighboring Canada with the U.S. threatening to raise tariffs on everything from building materials to dairy and paper.

Will prices be pushed even higher? We'll discuss the outlook for the economy with Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari.

The exchange of fire comes amid a turbulent week at home, with the president facing questions on everything from immigration enforcement to tariff threats against Canada.Yet in a FIERY primetime address last week, he chose to focus on election security—and his 2020 loss- a decision some members of his own party are now questioning.
