Daily Wire Managing Editor Dylan Houseman joins DC Bureau Chief Tim Rice to unpack the growing debate over JD Vance, the 2028 Republican primary, and what happens when a political movement starts treating its next leader as inevitable. Houseman explains the argument behind his latest column, “Since When Has a Little Anointing Ever Hurt Anyone?”, and why he thinks conservatives should allow room for genuine disagreements over foreign policy, economics, religion, and the future of the Republican coalition. The conversation also explores the rise of “everything is an op” politics, the dangers of dismissing critics as foreign agents or RINOs, whether Trump’s coalition can survive without Trump at the center of it, and why a Vance succession may be far less straightforward than many Republicans assume. Plus, the wild-card possibility that Donald Trump Jr. could emerge as a serious factor in 2028. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
