About this episode
Following Donald Trump’s victory over Nikki Haley in South Carolina's Republican primary, Jen outlines the GOP’s bizarre allegiance to Trump in the face of his increasingly unhinged and racist remarks. Jen is joined by Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro who discusses the importance of contrasting President Joe Biden’s accomplishments with Trump’s legal woes going into the 2024 election, among other topics. Next, Former Trump Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews reflects on the threat Trump poses to democracy in a potential second term and calls out former colleagues “twice her age” who have yet to denounce the former president. Later, Jen is joined by legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Neal Katyal to examine Trump’s far-fetched claims of presidential immunity in the classified documents case, while the Supreme Court weighs whether to consider Trump's immunity appeal in the Federal election case. Jen also breaks down the GOP’s contradictory response to the Alabama Supreme Court’s IVF ruling, as Trump backtracks from his party’s attacks on reproductive freedom. Finally, author Jared Cohen joins the show to discuss his new book “Life After Power,” which serves as a reminder that when it comes to the history of the presidency, Donald Trump is the exception and not the rule.
