16:17Now PlayingIs Donald Trump finally losing his grip on the MAGA base?
Professor Allan Lichtman says there are now three major warning signs pointing to cracks in Trump’s political coalition: a growing number of Trump-endorsed candidates losing Republican primaries, troubling approval numbers—including declining support among Republicans—and the departure of several important White House aides just months before the 2026 midterm elections.
But Sam isn’t completely convinced.
Allan and Sam debate whether these developments represent temporary political turbulence or evidence of a genuine erosion of Trump’s political power—and what it could mean as Republicans head toward the 2026 midterms.
Is the MAGA base actually cracking, or have we seen this story before?
