“NEXT UP”
I opened an all new episode of “Next Up” with my reported monologue on the viral “Trump is dead” rumors and how they mirrored the 1969 “Paul is dead” controversy about Paul McCartney.
Then I spoke with Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri about his new best-selling book, the courts as the GOP’s “Last Line of Defense,” and the Republican agenda heading into 2028.
Finally, Politico’s Rachael Bade joined me to share her reporting on Trump’s evolving relationship with congressional Republicans, the shifting power dynamics on Capitol Hill, the Democrats and 2028, and Washington’s social circuit in the Trump era.
