What this episode covers
Is America winning — or walking into something bigger? Michael welcomes political analyst Mark Halperin for a wide-ranging conversation on the war in Iran, whether the U.S. could credibly claim “victory” if the conflict ended today, and the political consequences heading into the midterms. They examine the escalating tension in the Strait of Hormuz, rising oil prices, and whether President Trump faces a credibility test abroad — and at home. Then the focus shifts to 2028: Is Marco Rubio’s stock rising? Is a JD Vance “coronation” really inevitable? And who leads the Democratic field right now? Halperin unveils his latest “8 for ’28” rankings, including where Newsom, Shapiro, Buttigieg, Harris, and AOC stand. Listen to gain great insights, and please rate, review, and share this podcast!
