With his approval rating 20 points underwater, Donald Trump previews his new midterm strategy: telling voters to pretend heβs on the ballot. Jon and Dan break down how that will play, react to the president renaming Lake Ontario to βLake America,β and preview the Republican Partyβs midterm convention.Β
They also discuss Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.βs handling of a measles outbreak in Pennsylvania, new polling that has James Talarico up on Ken Paxton in Texas, and the unnerving number of Nazi-related scandals surrounding Mike Collinsβs Senate campaign in Georgia.Β
Then, Annie Andrews, the Democratic nominee for Senate in South Carolina, talks to Dan about the momentum building for her campaign now that Darline Graham has won the Republican nomination.
