'MAGA shrunk': Pro-Trump pollster warns there's no good midterm news for GOP

"So, you know, Rich, but like that, you're talking about 2028. What about the midterms?" Kolvet asked on a Tuesday podcast. "I mean, there's, you know, you've had Joe Kent leaving this morning announcing his, his departure from the administration... We've got affordability. There's economic things to consider.

'Funny how that works': Nobel-winner warns Trump's allies won't help him out of 'trap'

President Donald Trump lashed out at his former director of National Counterterrorism Center on Tuesday following the official’s resignation out of protest over the U.S. war against Iran, calling him “weak” and “not smart.”
