“NEXT UP”

On the latest episode of “Next Up,” I talk with Congressman Ro Khanna about the real impact of the Iran war—what’s being gained, what it’s costing, and why diplomacy matters. He also opens up about a potential 2028 run and the personal and political factors shaping that decision.

Then I’m joined by The Economist’s James Bennet to unpack Trump’s motives in the conflict and the risks in how the war is being framed.

Finally, Vin Weber and Kevin Walling break down why Trump—not the economy—could define the midterms, plus the role of money, turnout, and small-dollar donations in shaping the race.
