Then Melissa DeRosa, former top aide to Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Ben Ferguson, conservative commentator, join me for a conversation on Trump’s economic reset, Democrats’ idea drought, and the Left’s intensifying divide over Israel. We also break down Ted Cruz’s sudden surge of 2028 chatter before wrapping with my Rapid Fire “X-Factor” round evaluating which Democrats truly have national-level potential.
