About this episode
The episode discusses the growing frustrations of MAHA Moms with President Trump ahead of the midterm elections.

On today’s Big Take podcast, guest host Tim Stenovec and Bloomberg Businessweek’s Deena Shanker track MAHA’s growing frustrations with the White House, from the fallout over Trump’s decision to pull Casey Means as nominee for surgeon general to a contentious battle over weed killer — and what it could mean for Trump’s record-low approval ratings.
