How big business is making its relationship with Republicans great again
To ring in the New Year, here’s a recent episode from one of our sister podcasts in the U.S., Playbook Deep Dive, hosted by Rachel Bade and produced by Alex Keeney. Power Play with Anne McElvoy will return next week.
Donald Trump’s Washington will be packed with big business heavyweights such as Elon Musk, Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick. Meanwhile, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which represents traditional business interests in D.C., has recently found itself estranged from its longtime allies in the Republican Party.
On this episode of Playbook Deep Dive, the Chamber’s top lobbyist, former Rep. Rodney Davis, joins Rachael Bade to discuss how the Chamber is getting its swagger back with the GOP, and how they plan to interface with President-elect Trump.

French connection: Trump meets Macron in free fall
The toppling of the French prime minister has caused a massive headache for French President Emmanuel Macron just days before he receives U.S. President-elect Donald Trump in Paris. As one president returns to the world stage, could the other’s days be numbered?
France is convulsed by crisis after its government suffered the humiliation of losing a no-confidence vote for the first time in over 60 years. Could Michel Barnier’s downfall hasten the demise of Emmanuel Macron and even trigger a financial crisis in the Eurozone’s second-largest economy?
To chew over a dramatic week in Paris and its reverberations for France’s relations across Europe and with the U.S., host Anne McElvoy talks to Marion Solletty, POLITICO’s executive editor in France, and Alexandre Kouchner, political analyst and lecturer at the Sciences Po university.

Why this Democratic lawmaker is prepared to work with Elon Musk
As Donald Trump puts the finishing touches to his new administration in Washington, the talk of the town continues to revolve around Elon Musk. The world’s richest man has the ear of the president-elect. How long will it last?
Host Anne McElvoy talks to Democratic `Representative Ro Khanna, who represents a large swath of Silicon Valley. Even in prosperous parts of the Golden State, the Democrats lost ground to Donald Trump’s resurgent Republican Party, just as they did across the rest of the country.
Can Khanna — part of the progressive wing of his party — help rebuild it after defeat, and does he hold out hope for his longtime acquaintance Musk as he takes on a new role to reduce the size of the federal government?
