The 2020 presidential election has been called but states’ votes not yet certified. President Trump is preventing a typical administration transition from taking place — we talk about what that would normally look like, and the impacts of what’s happening now. And a public theology professor helps us sort out the significance of a statement by Pope Francis supporting civil unions.
