    Mar 20 2026

With the Iran War intensifying, Gallego offers his perspective as an Iraq War veteran on Trump’s military operation.

Gallego sat down with POLITICO’s Dasha Burns on “The Conversation” to talk about voter ID, the 2028 election, and if he thinks Democrats can become the “fun” party again.
