Trump's White House Correspondents' Dinner, the Midterms, and the Democratic Party

Dave Spencer, Ashley Davis, and Kurt Bardella break down President Trump's appearance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, debate whether the event has outlived its purpose, and discuss Trump's relationship with the media. The conversation then turns to the 2026 midterm elections, including which party has the advantage in the House and Senate, key races in Michigan, Maine, Iowa and New Hampshire, and whether Republicans or Democrats are better positioned heading into the final 100 days before the midterm elections. Later, the trio discusses the Democratic Party's 2028 primary calendar, Kamala Harris' political future, the Democratic National Committee's fundraising challenges, and whether the new primary calendar favors establishment candidates. In Face Off with Dave and Carrie, Dave Spencer and Carrie Sheffield debate President Trump's White House Correspondents' Dinner appearance, the conflict with Iran, and election integrity.
