YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAxios White House reporter Alex Isenstadt joins Tara to break down the chaos in the Texas Senate race — and what it reveals about Trump's grip on the Republican Party. Trump refused to endorse John Cornyn before the deadline, Ken Paxton is staying in the race, and Democrats smell blood in a state they haven't won statewide in three decades. They dig into why Trump is holding his endorsement hostage over the Save America Act, what the race could cost Republicans ($200M+), and how intraparty fights from Texas to Kentucky to Georgia are testing Trump's political power heading into the midterms. Plus: how the war in Iran and rising gas prices are reshaping the 2026 landscape.
