    Is President Trump Losing Control of MAGA?
    Nov 21 2025
    Donald Trump reversed course on the Epstein files to get right with his party in what proved to be a rare crack in the strong bond the president has with his MAGA base. In addition to the Epstein matter, President Trump has come in for some criticism from supporters over his messaging and focus (or lack thereof) on prices and affordability and his penchant for putting foreign affairs front and center. Jonathan Martin of POLITICO is here to assess whether this is the beginning of Trump's lame duck period and who, or what, comes next.

    Running to be mayor of New York City is a tall order for any Republican given Democratic voters outnumber Republican voters by six to one.
