Iran War and Midterms Strategy, Plus Ro Khanna on a Potential 2028 Presidential Run

from Next Up with Mark Halperin · host MK Media

Mark Halperin speaks with Congressman Ro Khanna of California about the real impact of the Iran war, weighing military gains against rising costs and making the case for diplomacy. Khanna also opens up about a potential 2028 presidential run and the personal and political factors, including family, shaping his decision. Then, the Economist’s James Bennet joins to examine President Trump’s motives in the conflict and the risks of how the war is being framed. Lastly, Vin Weber and Kevin Walling join together to break down why Donald Trump, not the economy, will define the midterms and how turnout dynamics could shape the outcome. They also dive into the role of money in politics, where billionaire donors should be spending, and why Democrats continue to excel at small-dollar donations.   120Life: Go to https://120Life.com and use code NEXTUP to save 20% ExpressVPN: Visit https://ExpressVPN.com/MARK to find out how you can get up to four extra months.
