I didn't have my NordVPN switched on recently and I was the subject of a hacking attack.

I got an email that I thought was legitimate.

I opened it and now I'm very careful about having my NordVPN switched on.

Using NordVPN helps protect my privacy and sensitive data, especially as we're often working on the move or using public Wi-Fi's.

Welcome back to The Rest is Politics.

US, we're going to talk about the midterms.

Yes, they're not until November, but there was a very big test of Donald Trump's power over the Republican Party that is taking place right now.

We had elections.

Tuesdays are always Election Day in America.

Tuesday, we had elections in Indiana.

And Trump had backed a bunch of primary challenges against seven Republican state senators

who had rejected his calls for them to redistrict

indiana in the run-up to the midterm election so there's this big redistricting campaign going on around the country texas said to donald trump yep mr trump will do it florida said to mr trump yep mr trump will do it your little dog imitation that you do there that sounded more like a duck actually it's more like there you go it's so revolting but indiana comes back like a lion

We are not doing your bidding, Mr. Trump.

Mr. Trump doesn't like that.
