BREAKING: REPUBLICANS THROW TRUMP OVERBOARD - 9.24.26
Summary
Keith Olbermann analyzes the rapid "de-Trumpification" of the Republican Party, citing polls showing a massive shift in voter loyalty from Trump to the GOP. He details how Republican candidates in Michigan, Iowa, and Florida are distancing themselves from the president to save their races, with Byron Donalds even removing Trump’s name from his campaign website. Olbermann also critiques the White House press pool boycott, California’s failed legal challenge against the CNN acquisition, and the political struggles of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
