Summary

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down Ken Paxton’s stunning primary victory over John Cornyn in the most expensive Senate primary in American history and why Trump’s takeover of the Republican Party is pushing the GOP deeper into extremism and corruption. They analyze the fractures inside the Texas Republican Party, James Talarico’s growing momentum with moderates and independents, and why Republicans are suddenly terrified they could lose a Senate seat once considered untouchable. Kander and Gupta also dive into mounting economic anxiety as Americans sour on Trump’s handling of inflation, energy prices, and Iran, while his administration struggles to explain broken promises on lowering costs. Plus, they discuss new corruption scandals surrounding Trumpworld, voting rights battles in Alabama and South Carolina, and how right-wing media bubbles keep many voters in the dark about Trump’s escalating abuses of power.
