Republicans Suddenly Have Plans Next Week

In This Episode

Dozens of Republican lawmakers tell the press that they won’t be attending Trump’s midterm convention next week, citing a variety of unconvincing excuses, but the president seems unfazed by his party’s lack of enthusiasm for more Trump, announcing Trump midterm ads, Trump coins, and the possibility he may rename the Strait of Hormuz to the Trump Strait.

 

Dan and Jon preview the pity party and then react to Ed Markey’s primary win over Seth Moulton, Kamala Harris brushing off red-state Democrats refusing her support, and the Democrats’ new line of attack against the GOP — tying the construction of data centers to a tax provision in the Big Beautiful Bill. Then journalist Jasper Nathaniel stops by the studio to talk to Tommy about his reporting on violence in the West Bank.
