I joined LBC’s Matt Frei on Saturday to analyze the latest in American politics from the latest Democrat victory in midterm elections, in formerly deep-red Mississippi, to Donald Trump’s sidelining of J.D. Vance and his Presidential ambitions over the US War on Iran.
I explain how Scott Colom became the first Democrat to triumph in Mississippi since 1982, toppling Trumpist incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith and her hapless statements over the economy.
I also bring the latest from Alaska, where Democrat Mary Peltola is just short of the 50% needed for victory after 96% of the ballots have been counted.
Then I detail Trump’s snub of Vance and its significance both for the Iran War and for the split within the Administration. Where does this position Vance v. Marco Rubio, who may resign as Secretary of State for a Presidential run, and a hopeful like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis?
