H1B visas… Epstein flip-flopping… Truth Social attacks on allies Marjorie Taylor Green & Thomas Massie… it hasn’t been a great week for MAGA and President Trump.
As the President faces overwhelming backlash from his own followers – now at a breaking point after constant delays of his campaign promise to release the Epstein files – the administration is scrambling to reunite his base before midterms. Will the release of the Epstein files, now passed by the House and Senate, finally restore Trump’s reputation in the eyes of his most dedicated voters?
Mark Mitchell shares the latest polling data on Trump’s approval ratings. Joel Kotkin discusses the destruction of big cities by the people who run them, and Elaine Culotti explains the often self-destructive psychology of California voters.

Joel Kotkin talks with Garry Baker about the Democratic comeback in Tuesday’s off-year elections, why large cities are moving further left, and why affordability is the largest issue to urban voters.
