’This Is a Trap’

July 27, 2026; 7pm: Trump struggled to stay on message in battleground Michigan after his team reportedly gave vulnerable Republican candidates permission to distance themselves from his unpopular agenda. Matthew Bartlett, MS NOW Political Analyst, and Angelo Carusone, President and CEO of MediaMatters, join the Weeknight trio to react. Also, Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester sits down with the Weeknight hosts to analyze Democrats' strategy to win control of the Senate in November. Plus, Sen. Ruben Gallego joins the table to break down new polling showing the unpopularity of Trump's war in Iran.
