Buy or Sell? How bad is it for Trump?
Summary
Joe Trippi and Alex Sashlo analyze new polling data showing significant erosion in Trump’s coalition, driven by economic dissatisfaction and war fatigue among Republicans. They discuss how rising costs and foreign policy missteps are depressing turnout for GOP candidates in key midterm races. The hosts then play a "buy or sell" game, evaluating specific polls in Michigan, Texas, Iowa, and Alaska to predict Democratic gains.
