JVL and Sarah Longwell explore the emerging signs that some voters are beginning to regret their decision to support Donald Trump in the 2024 election. However, they emphasize that this shift does not necessarily simplify the political landscape. Key challenges include rising gas prices, an escalating gerrymandering arms race, and significant changes to Supreme Court rules.
In their latest discussion, Longwell and JVL also address the competitive Maine race, the growing influence of populist candidates such as Platner, and the core principles that define The Bulwark.
