The Takeout with Major Garrett, 4/17/26

President Trump announces on Truth Social that the Strait of Hormuz is open, yet the U.S. blockade continues. Eleanor Watson joins Major on-set to parse through the details, while Aaron MacLean is at the touchscreen with analysis. The California Governor's race continues to heat up, after former Rep. Eric Swalwell suspended his campaign due to sexual assault claims. Will this be the opening Democrats need to take over? Major interviews San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, one of the Democratic gubernatorial candidates, about what sets him apart from the crowded field. Plus, William Henry Harrison had one of the shortest tenures in presidential history. He's often overlooked in U.S. politics, but Major speaks with author/educator Sharon McMahon about the lessons we take away from his presidency. All that and more, right here on The Takeout!
