In their weekly video chat, David Nir, publisher of The Downballot, and Aaron Rupar, publisher of Public Notice, dive into Donald Trump’s astonishing decision to yank Elise Stefanik’s nomination as UN ambassador—hot on the heels of a massive special election upset and the explosive scandal that’s become known as Signalgate.
On Nir & Rupar, the hosts discuss:
How a small-town mayor in Pennsylvania campaigned against Elon Musk to flip a seat that had never gone for a Democrat.
Why Trump’s fear of losing yet another special election prompted him to kick Stefanik to the curb.
Why Trump can’t cancel the midterm elections, no matter how much he might want to.
And much more. David and Aaron also took a wide range of questions from those who participated live.
