About the episode
The Democratic party has been plagued by infighting over everything from its aging leadership to the war in Gaza. We talked about those divisions on the program earlier this month.Now, we’re turning our attention to the cracks in the GOP, which over the last few weeks, have only grown wider.Shortly after President Donald Trump won the 2024 election, the Republican party appeared to be in lockstep.
