A new episode of “Next Up,” is now available. Two of my 2WAY co-hosts, Batya Ungar-Sargon, from “The Group Chat,” and Dan Turrentine, from “The Morning Meeting” and “The Group Chat,” join the conversation to explore the Democrats’ immigration dilemma, potential new leadership within the party, and how the Left’s messaging is driving working-class voters straight into Republican arms.
Plus, my reported monologues on how the Blues respond to Trump on immigration and how the Democrats might be losing the 2028 presidential race at this very moment.
