About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of Trump's influence in Indiana's Republican primary and the implications for the midterm elections.
There’s a lot going on in this year’s midterm elections. Tennessee Republicans approved a new map on Thursday, splitting the majority-Black voting district that encompasses the city of Memphis – and possibly eliminating the state’s only blue congressional seat. The president also got to flex his muscles this week in Indiana’s Republican primary. Candidates with his support beat at least five Republican incumbents who had voted against his redistricting plans in the state . So what does all of this mean for the midterms? To find out, we talked to Jon Favreau. He’s a co-host of Pod Save America . And in headlines, Russia preps for its annual Victory Day Parade , two reports shed new light on the Iran war, and President Donald Trump tries to square up with a child in the Oval Office.
