Could Democrats Flip the House BEFORE the Midterms? | The Weekly Assignment with Susan Demas, Sam Osterhout, & Trygve Olson

Republican retirements, like Marjorie Taylor Greene and others — signal a deeper collapse inside the party’s infrastructure.

  • Safe red districts are no longer electoral guarantees as economic anxiety reshapes voter behavior.

  • Trump’s shrinking approval erodes his ability to control his own coalition.

  • The fight for democracy increasingly depends on restoring real human connection across divides.


Upgrade to paid

Susan Demas, Sam Osterhout, and Trygve Olson set the tone early, and the conversation quickly widened into the larger crisis consuming the GOP: a party hollowing itself out from the inside as its voters confront an economy that feels increasingly unmoored from their daily lives. The cracks are no longer subtle; they show up everywhere, like surprise upsets in special elections in red districts to the exhaustion of members who once imagined Congress as a lifetime perch but now see it as a liability.

That’s where the real work begins, in the spaces where fear can be interrupted by curiosity long enough to remember what shared values actually feel like.

Tune in for a conversation that insists hope is a strategy, not a luxury.
