Trump's power play is backfiring as betrayed Republicans go rogue
About this episode
Jen Psaki discusses the waning influence of Donald Trump over Republicans in Congress and the emergence of the 'Yolo Caucus'.
Jen Psaki points out that Republicans in Congress are increasingly losing their motivation to follow Donald Trump through his wildly unpopular vanity projects and destructive policies that are hurting Americans. On top of that are the number of lame duck legislators who ran afoul of Trump and lost primaries because of him and not have the rest of their term to exact payback as members of the "Yolo Caucus."
