Well, howdy there, internet people it spell again. So today, we're going to talk about

0:08.9

Democrats, momentum, and Trump's hold on the GOP. Indiana had its primary. Trump pushed to

0:17.6

oust incumbent state senators in Indiana because they refused to obey him and instead stood up for the voting rights of people of the state.

0:27.9

While Trump's grip on D.C. politicians is slipping, with them breaking from the aging and floundering president more and more often.

0:37.1

The primary in Indiana was seen as a test of Trump's hold on the Republican base.

0:43.0

As expected, the results were mixed, but Trump was able to knock out most of those Republicans

he sought to punish for opposing his failed gerrymander push.

1:53.2

policies that have increased your electric, gas, and food prices, while weakening America's

farmers, industry, tourism, and so on.

2:04.8

They'll do this because the Republican primary voters are mostly with Trump, and they don't want to face Trump's wrath.

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party is still gaining momentum and racking up wins during special election bellwethers.

2:21.9

A good example is Michigan State Senate District 35, which Harris won by less than a single point in 24.
