	Description:		President Trump's own nominee for Veterans Affairs Secretary is under fire for misconduct while on the job. Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) has accused Dr. Ronny Jackson, who is also Trump's personal physician in The White House, of being "repeatedly drunk while on duty," and "handing out prescriptions like candy," in recent interviews. Later in the episode, a narrow win for Republicans in Arizona's 8th Congressional District may mean that the GOP gets to keep a seat, but a dwindling voter base -- due in part to Trump's election -- has Democrats rallying for a near-future flip.
