Sen. Bill Hagerty, a freshman Republican from Tennessee, is a businessman who served as U.S. ambassador to Japan during the Trump administration.

 

Hagerty joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to describe how former President Donald Trump stood up to China. He also predicts what’s in store for the U.S.-China relationship under President Joe Biden.

 

“China has made its intentions very clear,” Hagerty says. “They’ve got their 2025 plan. One of the most nefarious things that you’ll see, and we’ve got to continue to be very diligent [about], is China is constantly pushing to get their technology into the infrastructure of the rest of the world.”

 

We also cover these stories:

  • Senate Democrats say they have the 51 votes needed to pass their $1.9 trillion COVID-19 bill, which Biden is expected to sign.
  • Vanita Gupta, Biden’s pick for associate attorney general, testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
  • The Biden administration asks the Supreme Court to throw out a case involving Trump’s policy on illegal immigration.
