Republicans find their spines
About this episode
The episode discusses the Republican primary in Texas, the implications of Donald Trump's influence, and features insights on the California governor race and Iran negotiations.
President Trump's pick, Ken Paxton, has won the Republican primary to set up an interesting senate race in Texas. He beat John Cornyn who joins a growing group of Republican senators who are not standing for re-election so have little to lose from standing up to Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Steve Hilton is hoping to become the Republican governor of California and Katy has spent some time with him. We hear what people inside the Iran discussions are saying about the prospects of a deal. And finally New York has something sporting to shout about.
