On this episode, Ethics and Public Policy Center senior fellow Henry Olsen joins Oren to unpack the demographic earthquake that led to the re-election of President Donald Trump and why it should push both parties to focus on Americans’ real interests.
The two discuss what the victory holds for the future of a Republican Party supported by a multi-ethnic working-class coalition, from fixing the border crisis to rethinking its devotion to free trade, as well as potential landmines ahead. Finally, they explain why the win is a death knell for an old right that wants to return to the pre-Trump economic consensus.
