Hawk starts the day after the primaries with the Michigan result: Dr. Abdul El-Sayed won the Democratic Senate nomination despite more than 60 million dollars in outside spending aimed at boosting his opponent. Hawk reads it as evidence that money does not decide these races, and that candidates win when they are responsive to voters, the same pattern he sees behind other recent progressive primary wins. He plays El-Sayed's own response to Republican attacks that leaned on his full name.
Hawk breaks down Trump's reaction, a Truth Social post calling El-Sayed a communist, alleging fraud in Wayne County, and warning of a rigged election. Hawk argues the cities Trump singles out when he cries fraud, going back to 2020, are consistently those with large Black and Latino populations, and connects it to the Supreme Court's rollback of the Voting Rights Act. He also covers JD Vance's response and the pattern of pardons for fraud convictions, work tracked by former pardon attorney Liz Oyer.
The confirmation math is the other thread. With the Senate at 52 present votes, Blanche can lose only two Republicans. Susan Collins is a no, Lisa Murkowski is undecided, and Louisiana's Bill Cassidy told SiriusXM he is not yet convinced, drawing a distinction between an attorney general who was once Trump's lawyer and a personal lawyer who is now attorney general. Hawk closes on the Florida subpoena of Anthony Fauci, arguing Fauci held an advisory role with no authority to order anyone.
