Is Susie Wiles on her way out? Erin Maguire and Kurt Bardella dig into reports that President Trump has been asking allies about potential replacements for his chief of staff—and why anyone counting Wiles out may want to think twice. Then, they assess Katie Zacharia’s rocky first White House briefing, the scrutiny surrounding her legal credentials, and what they would have advised her to do next. Finally, it’s closing-argument time on the campaign trail, with JD Vance, Senator John Kennedy, and Bill Clinton among the high-profile surrogates making the case for their parties. Erin and Kurt look at who can actually move voters, the possibility of widespread ticket-splitting, and what the final weeks could reveal about 2028.
