Introducing: “The Backstory”

Watch today’s new episodes of “The Group Chat,” “Next Up,” and “2WAY Tonight.”

May 07, 2026

We just launched something new with the Daily Mail x 2WAY: “The Backstory” — a live, interactive news show built around the biggest stories driving the conversation right now.

We’re bringing in top Daily Mail reporters and editors for sharp analysis, insider reporting, and real-time audience interaction that puts viewers directly into the discussion.

This is a different kind of news experience — more open, more dynamic, and built to pull the audience right into the story as it unfolds.

What’s better than the news? The source with the scoop.

Daily Mail’s Jon Michael Raasch joined “2WAY Tonight” to share his latest Washington intel and reporting for the launch of 2WAY x Daily Mail’s “The Backstory.”

Plus, Brian Wolff and Justin Sayfie broke down the day’s Iran complications, the domestic squabbles, and more alongside the 2WAY community.

Watch today’s episode of “The Group Chat”: ’

“NEXT UP”

I break down Marco Rubio’s rapid rise inside Republican politics on today’s “Next Up” and explain why he’s increasingly being viewed as a serious 2028 contender.

I also respond to the backlash over my “8 for ’28” rankings and explain why some of the criticism may actually reinforce my broader point about the race taking shape.

I’m joined by Leland Vittert for a wide-ranging conversation on Iran and the shifting balance of power in the Middle East, and by Hyma Moore, who lays out how Democrats could try to slow Rubio’s momentum before it builds further.
