About this episode
Ethics and Public Policy Center Senior Fellow and Washington Post columnist Henry Olsen joins Michael to break down the rapidly shifting political landscape heading into the 2026 midterms. They discuss whether Republicans can hold the Senate, the Democratic Party's growing progressive divide, JD Vance's political future, Marco Rubio's prospects, Trump's grip on the GOP, and why the battle for 2028 may already be underway. Michael then takes listener calls on Iran, congressional war powers, and the latest twists in the Senate races. Original air date 21 July 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
