Majority 54

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down a stunning Democratic upset in a deep-red Texas special election, where labor leader and Air Force veteran Taylor Rehmet crushed a Trump-endorsed Republican by double digits, raising new questions about the political environment heading into the midterms. They analyze what made the race unique, why Hispanic voters proved decisive, Trump’s frantic attempts to distance himself from the loss, and what special elections can—and can’t—tell us about what’s coming next. Kander and Gupta also dive into escalating threats to election integrity, as Fulton County fights the FBI over the seizure of 2020 ballots, Trump openly calls for nationalizing elections, and alarming new reporting surfaces about Tulsi Gabbard, whistleblowers, and federal overreach. Plus, they discuss ICE enforcement chaos in Minnesota, the real economic impact of immigration, and why the rule of law is being stress-tested like never before.
