The Weekend Spectator Collaboration: The Midterms Were a Bloodbath. Here's What Republicans Got Wrong

The midterms were brutal for Republicans. The morning after, I sat down with Paul Kengor of The American Spectator to figure out what went wrong.

In this episode, I talk with Paul about Talarico winning Texas, the Michigan result, and a Florida night that was far closer than it should have been. Paul thinks voters punished Trump over Iran, gas prices, and inflation. I think Republicans spent too long on defense, telling people socialism is bad without showing them a better vision.

We also get into AOC, the DSA, and what all of this means for 2028. And we end where we should: our hope was never in politicians.
