Molly welcomes political strategist and pollster Mike Madrid to break down emerging fractures within the MAGA coalition, highlighting polling that shows a significant share of self-identified MAGA voters breaking with Donald Trump over the war in Iran and what that could mean heading into the midterms. Madrid explains why Latino voters—now the largest ethnic minority voting bloc at roughly 11–12% of the electorate—have become the key national swing constituency due to their rapid growth, geographic concentration in competitive districts, and low loyalty to either party, driven largely by unmet economic concerns like housing, affordability, and cost of living. The discussion also explores whether traditional policy tools can realistically lower costs, the role of housing supply and regulation, how foreign policy and the weakening dollar can feed inflation, and why Madrid sees stronger-than-expected Democratic momentum in recent results, including shifts among independents, turnout dynamics, and competitive terrain expanding into places like Texas and beyond.
