Summary

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the Republican revolt that forced a vote on extending Obamacare subsidies, as four GOP lawmakers joined Democrats on a discharge petition to prevent premiums from doubling for millions of Americans. They analyze the political fallout for House Republicans in swing districts, Speaker Mike Johnson’s failed negotiations, and the looming deadline that could leave 22 million people facing higher health care costs. Kander and Gupta also dive into a wave of national turmoil, from mass shootings and rising antisemitism among young Americans to chaos and incompetence inside Trump’s law enforcement leadership and explosive reactions to Trump’s own rhetoric. Plus, they discuss new reporting on Susie Wiles, deepening MAGA infighting, growing backlash to AI and Big Tech, and fresh polling showing cracks in Trump’s base. This and more on the podcast that helps you, the majority of Americans who believe in progress, convince your conservative friends and family to join us—this is Majority 54!
