Day 71: Could JD Vance be the next US President?

On Day 71 of Donald Trump's presidency, US correspondent James Matthews is joined by Ronna McDaniel, former chair of the Republican National Committee, only the second woman to occupy that position, and for seven years.

She is also the niece of former senator and one-time Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. James and Ronna discuss Trump's moulding of the Republican party, if Elon Musk has too much power, and whether JD Vance could make a future US President.
