Donald Trump’s war on Iran was a big cause of the GOP electoral drubbing, and Pete Hegseth is in trouble. Trump told ABC News that he “has every intention” of keeping the Defense Secretary. But then came the twist. Trump said: “I get these calls” from people taking aim at Hegseth, adding: “I don’t know why.” And Trump admitted it would be easier to get a replacement confirmed before Democrats take over the Senate, a hint that he’s seriously thinking of dumping him. This is exactly how Trump talks when he’s getting rid of someone. Meanwhile, story after story reports that the GOP knives are out for Hegseth in a serious way. We talked to Representative Adam Smith, the next head of the Armed Services Committee. Smith discusses why it’s 50-50 that Trump will remove Hegseth and what a disaster he’s been. Smith also explains how Democrats will seek to defund the war if necessary and details how they’ll investigate Trump’s illegal Caribbean boat strikes and bombing of a girls’ school in Iran.

Norm Ornstein and David Rothkopf discuss the hard work that needs to be done to save our democracy. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Donald Trump fired quite a warning shot at JD Vance as the epic scale of GOP losses sank in. Asked about Vance and the political way forward, Trump employed his best mob-speak and declared that in 2028, maybe “a lot of people” will run for president, adding of Vance: “Maybe he won’t run.” Translation: If you distance yourself from me, your presidential ambitions are dead and others should feel free to run instead. This comes as Vance just posted a long statement blaming GOP losses squarely on the war. That’s a clear bid by Vance to repair relations with MAGA voters alienated by Trump by (subtly) getting distance from him. Meanwhile, Republicans are angrily pointing fingers squarely at Trump, with one declaring that he’s “optimistic for the future because Trump’s going to be gone in two years.” The infighting is growing truly vicious. We talked to international relations professor Nicholas Grossman, author of a good piece discussing the centrality of Trump’s war to GOP losses. We discuss Trump’s shivving of Vance, how Vance is trying to salvage his 2028 ambitions by hitching himself to the Tucker Carlson wing of MAGA, and why the GOP crackup will get much worse.

Hey, Donald - the whole country just voted against you! Tuesday’s blue tsunami was a sight to behold as Dems managed to overwhelmingly flip both the House and Senate. But although we can - and should - celebrate the results of the midterms, we cannot become complacent. Michael Tomasky of The New Republic joins David Rothkopf, Rosa Brooks and Ed Luce to discuss this monumental Democratic victory and what lies ahead. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

In a stunning series of outcomes, Democrats won control of the House and Senate on Tuesday. They’re projected to take control of at least 244 House seats, per NBC, and as of now, they’ve flipped Senate seats in South Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Iowa, Kansas, and North Carolina, with Maine likely following. That means they’ll control at least 53 seats. But what also makes these results stunning is how Democrats captured a lot of new territory in places they’ve long struggled to reach. They made huge inroads into the South, won a Senate seat in the Great Plains, and reached deep into the parts of the Midwest that we all thought Trump had turned permanently red. We talked to New Republic editor Michael Tomasky about all of it. We discuss how Trump brought his party to this disastrous moment, how these Democratic gains will alter our political geography, what this all portends for JD Vance, how a new Democratic Party may be coming into being, and how it will handle a severely diminished Trump next year.
