Why Trump’s Spell Broke With Ultimate Humiliation | The Daily Beast Podcast

Terry Moran joins Joanna Coles from Texas, where Democrats have scored a stunning series of victories that could signal a seismic shift in American politics. After more than three decades without a Democrat holding statewide office, Texas has delivered a historic rebuke to Republicans, with James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa among the candidates riding a massive blue wave of voter frustration. Moran explains why Latino voters turned against Trump, how the president's own supporters are losing faith, and why the election represents something bigger than a rejection of one man: a repudiation of Trumpism itself. He and Coles look at the Democratic upsets in Maine, Iowa, and Kansas, the candidates emerging as potential 2028 contenders, and what the results mean for JD Vance's presidential ambitions. They also confront the growing Republican revolt against Trump, the fallout from the Michigan Democratic primary, and the question of whether Democrats can turn this extraordinary electoral momentum into a governing agenda. #ad If you’re ever injured in an accident, you can check out Morgan & Morgan.
