We're going to talk about why this is about a lot more than who is polling well today.

It's really about who can build the coalition that's big enough to actually win.

There is not an obvious consensus right now.

At the same time, there is something else going on that should concern you even more.

The inner circle around President Trump is behaving increasingly differently.

They are not getting any more loyal.

They are getting less loyal.

They're hesitating to throw their support behind whatever Donald Trump does.

They are reinterpreting what Trump says.

And I believe that this is a sign that they are no longer following him.

They are managing him.

And that raises a serious question.

If Trump isn't running things when he's sundowning or at Mar-a-Lago, who is we're going to break that down later?

I will tell you about the groundwork to try to rig the 2026 election.

Fortunately, there are things we can do to prevent that from happening.

That's the good news.

Listen, I don't know what you care about heading into 2028.

I'm going to be very transparent about my priority.

My priority is making sure that we do not end up with another lunatic authoritarian dictator wannabe in power starting in January of 2029.

That is sort of my starting point for looking at early 2028 polling.
