"Members of Trump's own party view him as more of a political liability than an asset"
Summary
Sarah Longwell discusses her new book and argues that Democrats must aggressively counter Trump's "narrative dominance" by focusing on economic failures rather than culture wars. The episode highlights a massive enthusiasm gap, with voters feeling betrayed by the war in Iran and high costs of living. Later, Mark McKinnon and Tim Miller analyze the "Trumpalooza" convention in Texas, predicting it will expose Republican vulnerabilities and inadvertently boost Democratic candidates like Texas Senator John Cornyn.
