Andy Hooser on Trump, the GOP’s Identity Crisis, and 2026 Outlook

from America's News Hour · host Talk Media Network

From June 29th - America’s News Hour opens this week with Andy Hooser, vice chair of the Kansas GOP and host of The Voice of Reason (HooserReason.com). Hooser shares why he believes Donald Trump’s recent moves on Iran and Israel were “absolutely the right call,” and why decades of failed U.S. policy in the Middle East make the administration’s approach unique. He also breaks down the Democratic Party’s “three-way civil war” and warns that the GOP’s growing populist coalition is both a strength and a potential vulnerability heading into 2026. From the MAGA movement’s transformation of the party to whether populism can survive after Trump, Hooser offers a candid inside look at Republican politics, strategy, and challenges in the years ahead.
