GOP Distances Itself From Trump, Scott Jennings is Staggeringly Stupid, Dem Exposes Bessent 9/18/26
Republicans are facing a difficult midterm balancing act: embrace Donald Trump to energize the MAGA base and access his massive campaign war chest, or keep their distance as his approval ratings fall and some of his policies become political liabilities. We look at why vulnerable GOP candidates are divided over Trump’s involvement, and what that tension could mean for the party’s chances in November. This week in Politics brings our brilliant political analysts Michael Shure and Mo Kelly to the show. We'll talk midterms, Kennedy Center and the latest rumblings on AI. Downshifting into fun gear...Friday Fabulous Florida is on tap and the Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, will talk movies, streaming and more.
