Has Donald Trump permanently transformed the Republican Party?
On this episode of It's a Numbers Game, Ryan Girdusky sits down with Senator Jim Banks of Indiana to discuss the rise of working-class conservatism, the future of election integrity legislation, the battle over redistricting, America's economic challenges, and the ongoing effort to reduce dependence on China.
Senator Banks shares personal stories about his union-worker father, explains why Trump's message resonated with working-class voters long before the political establishment understood it, and discusses how the GOP is evolving into a party focused on everyday Americans rather than political elites.
The conversation also covers the SAVE Act, Senate filibuster reform, redistricting battles across the country, inflation, government spending, the national debt, manufacturing jobs, and efforts to bring critical supply chains back to the United States.
