About this episode
break down the stunning election results from Iowa, where Democrats scored a major upset and suddenly put the state back on the political map. They analyze what Turek’s victory says about the changing dynamics in the Midwest, the warning signs for Republicans heading into 2026, and whether Democrats have found a new path to compete in red states. Kander and Gupta also dive into the growing controversy surrounding Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, as Democrats wrestle with questions about electability, character, and what it will take to defeat Susan Collins and win back the Senate. Plus, they discuss Trump’s decision to abandon his controversial $1.8 billion fund, new cracks emerging within the MAGA coalition, and the broader implications for the political landscape.
