2026 and 2028 Elections: What to Expect (with Mark Leibovich)
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Stay Tuned with Preetβs own podcast host.
Whatβs going on in Washington? Mark Leibovich, politics writer for The Atlantic, joins Preet to reflect on the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, who will replace him, and why politicians might value relevance over loyalty. Plus, they look ahead at the 2026 midterm elections and what the winning presidential candidate could look like in 2028.
Then, Preet answers listener questions about Lindsey Grahamβs legacy and Jared Kushnerβs negotiations on behalf of the United States.
In the bonus for Insiders, Preet and Leibovich unpack the idea that Donald Trump is an βunthoughtfulβ president.
