Rep. Charlie Dent announced Tuesday he will leave Congress earlier than expected.

Pennsylvania Rep. Charlie Dent announced Tuesday he will leave Congress a few months earlier than expected; last fall he announced he would not seek re-election. Why leave now? Dent says he plans to bring a voice to the “sensible center” from outside of Congress. He joins Judy Woodruff to discuss his exit, President Trump and the political headwinds for Republicans going into the midterm election.
