Identifies factors that helped boost President Clinton's popularity in the midst of a scandal, including the strong economy, his popular positions on public issues, his personal charisma, public dislike of his enemies and skepticism of their motives, and the view that Clinton's affair with Lewinsky was a private matter.

Monica Lewinsky has been many things: White House intern, media punching bag, writer, anti-bullying activist, and now, producer. She talked to David about her upbringing and her parents' tumultuous divorce, her struggles with mental health following her affair with former President Bill Clinton, the dangers of social media, and how she took back control of her own story, most recently as a producer on "Impeachment: American Crime Story."

Die vergangenen Wahlen zum US-Kongress zeigen, wie bedeutungsvoll die innenpolitische Lage und Entwicklung für den Wahlausgang sind. So verloren die Demokraten fünf Sitze, während die Republikaner mit einer komfortaben Mehrheit die Wahlen gewinnen konnten. Dabei wird deutlich, wie die Wähler die Innenpolitik bewerten und welche ihrer Faktoren letztlich ausschlaggebend für das Wahlverhalten waren. Der Wahlausgang zeigt auch, daß das Amtsenthebungsverfahren in diesem Zusammenhang eine kleinere Rolle spielte, als auf den ersten Blick angenommen werden kann.
