And we do know that there are more documents coming and more news will be made. So let’s talk about what might be coming and how that might affect President Trump’s approval rating, and his ability to govern. We’ll also discuss the broader political issues including Venezuela, the recent government shutdown, and divisions within both the Democratic and Republican parties. Thanks for tuning in and have a great week.

A lot has happened in the last year since the 2024 election and in the odd number year after a presidential election the focus is on New Jersey and Virginia which have been bell-weather states.
