Andrew Cuomo hosts political analyst Mark Halperin to dissect the high-stakes landscape of the upcoming midterm elections and the volatility of American foreign policy. The dialogue centers on the Republican strategy of framing the election as a choice between individual candidates rather than a referendum on Donald Trump’s polarizing leadership, while Cuomo warns that the Democratic Party may struggle due to its pivot toward far-left ideologies.
