How Trumpism Might Survive the Fall of Trump (w/ Eugene Daniels and Symone Sanders-Townsend)
About this episode
The episode discusses the potential survival of Trumpism post-Trump and the implications for accountability and democracy in the upcoming midterm elections.
Trump's second term has been defined by mounting corruption, but who, if anyone, is holding him accountable? MSNOW’s Symone Sanders Townsend and Eugene Daniels join the show to discuss whether Republicans will ever push back against Trump's abuses of power, Todd Blanche's nomination, and the growing politicization of the Department of Justice. They also explain why the upcoming midterm elections could be the country's best chance to check authoritarianism, what it will take to build a durable pro-democracy majority, and why Americans should demand more from their government.
