Josh opens the show discussing the latest on Iran following President Trump's comments that he held off on launching additional strikes because of progress in ongoing peace talks. Josh also breaks down the sudden reversal by two senators who have been holding up Todd Blanche's confirmation as Attorney General and what it means moving forward.
Will Chamberlain of the Article III Project joins Josh to discuss the latest on Blanche's confirmation and where the process stands. The two also examine the Texas Senate race, the realistic chances of a Democrat pulling off an upset, and where Ken Paxton currently stands. They also discuss the future of the conflict with Iran, what comes next for Hamas, and the broader outlook for the Middle East.
Josh wraps up the show by discussing the growing civil war within the Democratic Party between the DSA wing and more traditional Democrats. He explains why a key primary election on Tuesday could provide an important glimpse into the party's future.
