'He's WEAK and FAILING': Nicolle and Sarah Longwell on the end of wannabe-tyrant Trump's reign

08 SEP 2026 · 18:30 ET·16:37·291K VIEWS·10.0× USUAL PACE

Nicolle Wallace and Sarah Longwell discuss Donald Trump's declining poll numbers and the Republican party's struggles ahead of the November midterm elections. Longwell, author of "How to Eat an Elephant: One Voter at a Time," notes that Trump voters feel betrayed by his unfulfilled promises and his focus on "vanity projects" like a new ballroom and arch, rather than issues like gas prices and the war in Iran. She argues that Democrats should go on the offensive against Trump, highlighting his perceived weakness and instability, rather than waiting for Republicans to abandon him.

WHY IT MATTERS

Trump's perceived weakness and the Republican party's decline could significantly impact the upcoming midterm elections, potentially shifting the balance of power in Congress and influencing future elections.

ALSO DISCUSSED
