Today’s Politics with Amy Walter: At the top, a look at why Trump is continuing to rally, as well as how they’re being used to further, or detract attention from, the policies he’s enacting in Washington. Then, a look at the rise of female veterans running for political office. There are 32 female veterans running for both the House and Senate, and a majority of them are Democrats. If 2018 is the year of the woman, will it also become the year of the female veteran? This hour explores why these women are inspired to run and how they are bucking the trends.
