Summary

Mark and Ed discuss similarities between the recent assassination attempt on President Trump and the attempt on Ronald Reagan. Ed notes that Trump needs to focus on the nation’s key issues to win voters in November and believes the likelihood of younger voters switching from Democrat to Republican is low. In addition, he adds that if gas prices decrease before the midterms, Republicans could have a chance to win both the House and Senate. Mark also questions whether it is possible to abandon the script and speak freely on air as the President.
