Raids, Riots & Roadblocks: California in Turmoil, Democrats Sidetracked on 2028 Plans
10 Jun 2025
Mark Halperin kicks off the show with a deep dive into the California immigration protests—what’s really driving the unrest, how the media is covering (or spinning) the story, and why it matters far beyond the West Coast. He also breaks down why some Democrats publicly blaming law enforcement could end up boosting Trump and the GOP. Then, Mark turns to the road to 2028: revisiting the GOP’s successful—and still secretive—2024 strategy that returned Trump to the White House, and examining how Democratic infighting and DNC dysfunction are keeping the party from mounting a credible counterstrategy. Later, Batya Ungar-Sargon and Dan Turrentine join the conversation to explore the Democrats’ immigration dilemma, potential new leadership within the party, and how the Left’s messaging is driving working-class voters straight into Republican arms. Can Democrats win them back—and how?
