<div>

<p>James and Al report on this week’s elections, breaking down Trump’s continued dominance in the Republican party, Democrats' ability to win over party switchers, and an energized Black electorate.  Then, they call out the miscalculations Trump made in the Iran war and expose the effect of media ownership on the political landscape before welcoming government accountability advocate Fred Wertheimer.  They discuss Trump’s settlement with the IRS, the ways he’s enriched himself and his supporters, the difference between the Trump and Biden DOJ, and the dangers of corruption.</p><p>Email your questions to James and Al at <a href="mailto:POLITICSWARROOM@GMAIL.COM">politicswarroom@gmail.com</a> or tweet them to<a href="http://www.twitter.com/@politicon"> @politicon</a>.  Make sure to include your city– we love to hear where you’re from! </p><p><strong>More from James and Al:</strong></p><p><strong>Get </strong><a href="https://politicon.attn.tv/p/z6Z/landing-page"><strong>text updates</strong></a><strong> from Politics War Room and Politicon.</strong></p><p><strong>Watch </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIMaYVqnSs68BK1IapZNrImkfHwJEDOXy"><strong>Politics War Room</strong></a><strong> &amp; </strong><a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIMaYVqnSs69pLbnSb_2FkHVAoIPznxsC&amp;si=LjHdxLBHye_bgi7d"><strong>James Carville Explains</strong></a><strong> on YouTube.</strong></p><p><strong>James Carville &amp; Al Hunt have launched the </strong><a href="http://www.politicswarroom.com/"><strong>Politics War Room Substack</strong></a></p><p>Get updates and some great behind-the-scenes content from the documentary <strong>CARVILLE: WINNING IS EVERYTHING, STUPID</strong> by following James on X <a href="https://x.com/JamesCarville?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">@jamescarville</a> and his new TikTok <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@realjamescarville">@realjamescarville</a></p><p><strong>Get More From This Week’s Guest: </strong></p><p><strong>Fred Wertheimer: </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/fredwertheimer?lang=en">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.justsecurity.org/author/wertheimerfred/">Just Security</a> | <a href="https://www.wertheimerlipton.com/">Wertheimer Lipton</a> | <a href="https://democracy21.org/about-us/staff">Democracy 21</a></p><p><strong>Mentioned On The Show:</strong></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/blf9uJICHmo">Al appears on The Colbert Report</a></p><p><strong>Please Support Our Sponsors:</strong></p><p><strong>Mint Mobile:</strong><br />Get premium wireless for just $15 per month at <a href="http://mintmobile.com/warroom">mintmobile.com/warroom</a></p><p><strong>DeleteMe:</strong><br />Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to <a href="http://joindeleteme.com/warroom">joindeleteme.com/warroom</a> and use<br />promo code <strong>WARROOM</strong> at checkout.</p><p><strong>Miracle Made:</strong><br />Upgrade your sleep with Miracle Made!
