Happy Saturday! This week: Joshua Tait examines the man who would inherit MAGA, Will Saletan takes on the Republicans smearing Jack Smith, and Mona Charen explains how corruption killed Trump’s populist image. Plus, Catherine Rampell on a trade war that isn’t even helping the cheesemakers, Ben Parker and Mark Hertling on Hegseth’s remaking of the military, and Will Sommer gets the script for the Daily Wire’s latest pro-ICE movie. We’re a month out from election day, so… buckle up!
