The lesson Democrats could learn from MAGA | The Conversation

from The Playbook Podcast · host POLITICO

The 2026 midterms are taking shape, and the results could determine the future of both parties.  Dasha sits down with her fellow Playbook co-authors Adam Wren and Will Steakin to examine what the primaries have revealed about Trump’s influence, the Republican coalition and the Democratic Party’s identity crisis. They discuss Trump’s $400 million MAGA Inc. war chest, the power of online politics, progressive upsets and moderate wins, and the three key states they think will be the best test of the national political environment in November.  Have thoughts for the show?
