Josh opens the show by breaking down the results of Michigan's Democratic primary and what they could mean for the future of the Democratic Party. He also examines the chances of progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed winning Michigan's U.S. Senate race and why Democrats ignore the party's leftward shift at their own peril.
Luke Macias, political commentator, joins Josh to discuss the reality of Democrats' efforts to turn Texas blue through the state's Senate race. They examine the challenges Republicans face in Texas, what Democrats are trying to accomplish in the Lone Star State, and whether the state's political landscape is truly changing.
Josh also discusses the latest on Iran and the ongoing discussion surrounding a potential deal with the regime. He also weighs in on what he believes President Trump should do next and why the mixed messaging coming from the White House is creating unnecessary confusion.
