In This Episode
Erin Maguire is out this week, so Kurt Bardella goes solo.
Kurt starts with Haley Stevens endorsing Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan’s Senate race. He asks whether it’s a political payoff or a personal grudge after her primary loss to Abdul El-Sayed. He looks at how she blindsided her own staff and argues the endorsement will have zero impact, because she has no juice left with voters.
Then the big picture. Kurt explains why the midterms could be an extinction-level event for MAGA and why this is a blame election. He warns Democrats not to overreach, and especially not to impeach again. He also predicts Trump will blame everyone but himself: Paxton, Miller, Hegseth and Vance. He covers what the GOP has to choose after an electoral beatdown: go back to compassionate conservatism, or follow the California GOP into irrelevance. Finally, he considers what happens if he’s wrong, and what Trump’s unpopularity means for every Republican on the ballot.
A full post-election roundup is coming next.
