'The MAGA Flag Is in Tatters'

The midterm elections are still six weeks away, but Republicans are already looking ahead to 2028. In this episode, the Opinion contributor Robert Siegel and the contributing writer E.J. Dionne Jr. are joined by Timothy P. Carney, a columnist for The Washington Examiner and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, to talk about the week’s big news in American politics. The three discuss who will lead the G.O.P. in 2028, the challenges Republicans will face before then and how the news media reluctantly took center stage this week.Thoughts?
