Transcript:
The Democratic primary for 2028 is already taking shape. The people leading are strong, but they are not universally liked, even within the Democratic Party. That matters a lot.
We’re going to talk about why. This is about a lot more than who is polling well today. It’s really about who can build the coalition that’s big enough to actually win. There is not an obvious consensus right now.
At the same time, there’s something else going on that should concern you even more. The inner circle around President Trump is behaving increasingly differently. They are not getting any more loyal. They are getting less loyal. They’re hesitating to throw their support behind whatever Donald Trump does. They are reinterpreting what Trump says, and I believe that this is a sign that they are no longer following him. They are managing him.
And that raises a serious question: If Trump isn’t running things when he’s sundowning or at Mar-a-Lago, who is? We’re going to break that down.
Later, I will tell you about the groundwork to try to rig the 2026 election. Fortunately, there are things we can do to prevent that from happening. That’s the good news.
