2025 Political Winners, Conservative Media, and Midterm Focus with Mary Vought

Heidi Harrison talks with Mary Vogt of the Heritage Foundation about the major political winners and losers of 2025. They highlight the Trump administration’s action to cut $185 million in Minnesota funding as a victory for accountability and fiscal responsibility. The conversation emphasizes the rise of independent and conservative journalists, like Nick Shirley, who are exposing misuse of taxpayer funds despite mainstream media pushback. They also discuss the economy as a slow-burn winner, with policy moves like no tax on tips benefiting Americans. Looking ahead to the midterms, Vogt identifies economic affordability and practical policy solutions as the central issues that will resonate with voters.
