Mark Halperin’s reported monologue chronicles this week’s sudden explosion of the 2028 presidential fight within the Republican Party to be the heir to Donald Trump.  JD Vance, Ron DeSantis, and Ted Cruz are all beginning to jockey for power and influence over the MAGA voting bloc - and Mark explains how they are doing it, as Marco Rubio hovers over the jousting.  Mark also looks at Charlie Kirk’s prophetic warnings about young voters, Latinos, and war with Iran - and how his words were ignored and the consequences materialized on election night.  Glenn Beck joins to give a real assessment of where Republicans went wrong, explaining how deviation from core MAGA hopes and inability to communicate the Trump Administration’s successes led to destruction within the party.HomeServe: Protect your home systems from expensive repairs with https://HomeServe.com/nextup and get 50% off your first year of coverage.Sentry H2O: Use code Halperin for 10% off today at https://Sentryh2o.com/Halperin  Know what’s in your water.SelectQuote: Compare top‑rated life insurance options.
