Ron Brownstein: Don't Take the Bait

Description

Trump governed as a wartime president against blue America, so expect him to keep stirring up culture battles—but the Dems have to avoid getting drawn into them. Kamala and the party were undone in '24 by looking like they cared more about niche issues than putting food on the table. Meanwhile, Biden has left Trump a lot of room to consolidate a bigger coalition than he's ever had. Plus, for Republicans shrugging off climate change and threatening to withhold fire aid to California, here's a news flash: extreme weather is coming to a neighborhood near you.



 Ron Brownstein joins Tim Miller for the weekend

This conversation overlooks or ignores the huge wave of Kamala-inspired voter registration and the equal number of votes. There was voter suppression (Russian-sourced bomb threats) and misdelivered democratic votes. And impossible all-swing state Trump wins. Just too many questions about vote totals….something is just not right. Full arenas for Kamala and draining rallies for Trump. Doesn’t add up.
