Democrats and Republican Respond to Trump’s Strike Against Iran
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss how Republicans and Democrats are reacting to President Trump’s missile strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, as well as today’s retaliatory attack by Tehran on an American base in Doha, Qatar. They also talk about Tuesday’s New York Democratic Mayoral Primary, which features a crowded race and ranked choice voting. Anti-Cuomo forces have tried to work the new ranked choice voting system to their favor, and new research from Emerson College Polling predicts that Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani may win over current leader Andrew Cuomo after eight rounds of elimination. Next, Carl Cannon talks to RCP special correspondent Addison Graham from Brussels on the European Union foreign ministers meeting, how they view next steps in the Middle East and Ukraine, and how they see President Trump’s role in reshaping U.S. foreign policy. And lastly, Tom Bevan talks to Rachel Hoff, Policy Director of the Reagan Institute about a new survey conducted by the institute on U.S. public attitudes toward Iran, NATO and national security.
