48:51Now PlayingWhy are Democratic voters demanding a more aggressive response to Donald Trump—and how could that anger reshape the 2026 midterm elections?
Susan J. Demas speaks with Eric Michael Garcia, Washington bureau chief for The Independent, about the growing appetite for political confrontation inside the Democratic base, Mitch McConnell’s prolonged absence, Republican double standards surrounding misconduct allegations, and the rapidly changing politics of ICE.
Garcia explains why nearly half of Americans now support abolishing ICE, how Trump may be losing Latino voters over deportations and the cost of living, and why Democrats are finally investing more seriously in Spanish-language outreach.
They also examine the unpredictable Michigan Senate primary, Georgia’s enormous importance in the midterms, Pete Hegseth’s contentious Senate testimony, and the growing excitement surrounding Senator Jon Ossoff.
Eric Michael Garcia is the Washington bureau chief for The Independent and the author of We’re Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation.
