Alabama’s Anthony Daniels Heals With Help From Wife—and Bipartisan Support

Alabama House Minority Leader Anthony Daniels is recovering remarkably well after undergoing a kidney transplant—thanks to a lifesaving donation from his wife.

In a candid conversation on the Alabama Politics This Week podcast, Daniels shared his journey, his gratitude for bipartisan support, and the ongoing mystery behind what caused his kidney failure.
