Is It Gay to Flip Texas?
Summary
Pod Save America hosts Jon Favreau and Dan Pfeiffer critique a superficial U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement and Trump’s self-aggrandizing plans for America’s 250th anniversary, including gold-plated statues and a $250 bill. They discuss rampant corruption, such as a Pentagon loan to a Trump Jr. company, and analyze the Texas Senate runoff where Ken Paxton defeated John Cornyn. Finally, Democratic nominee James Tallarico joins to address GOP attacks on his masculinity and outline his strategy to win the seat.
