Inside “This Week with George Stephanopoulos”: ABC News’ Flagship Sunday Program Continues to Drive National Political Discourse
WASHINGTON — As the American political landscape navigates a busy and high-stakes year in 2026, ABC News’ premier Sunday morning discussion program, This Week with George Stephanopoulos, remains at the forefront of breaking national and international news coverage.
Co-anchored by veteran journalist George Stephanopoulos alongside Martha Raddatz and Jonathan Karl, the broadcast continues to set the weekly agenda by featuring exclusive interviews with top-tier newsmakers, lawmakers, and global leaders. In recent weeks, the show has heavily focused on critical geopolitical shifts, including escalating U.S.-Iran tensions, domestic legislative battles over government funding and healthcare, and key developments heading into the midterms.
Beyond the headlines, This Week is widely recognized for its signature “Powerhouse Roundtable,” where prominent political analysts dissect the week’s most polarizing events. Despite a shifting media ecosystem and ongoing legal and political controversies surrounding mainstream networks—including past high-profile defamation disputes involving the anchor—Stephanopoulos and his team continue to anchor ABC’s Sunday lineup as an essential institution for Washington insiders and everyday voters alike.
