GOP in Freefall
Summary
Host Max Burns and guest Brian Caram analyze the dysfunction within the Republican Party, highlighting congressional inaction on AI regulation and the suspension of House sessions to avoid impeaching Pete Hegseth. The discussion covers the GOP's free fall in midterm polls due to economic concerns and the Iran conflict, alongside internal fractures like Maria Elvira Salazar's public break with Trump. Caram argues that while the party is crumbling, Democrats must focus on high voter turnout and local candidate selection to secure a fair election outcome.
