With the 2026 midterm elections approaching, the biggest question facing Republicans is clear: can they win without Donald Trump on the ballot?

In this in-depth conversation, Lisa is joined veteran strategist John McLaughlin breaks down the critical turnout gap shaping recent elections, why Democrats may currently hold a slight advantage, and what Republicans must do now to rebuild the coalition that powered victories in 2016 and 2024.

From the importance of Trump-era issue alignment—including immigration, tax cuts, and working-class economic policy—to the danger of voter drop-off in 2025 races, this episode dives into the data, the strategy, and the stakes.

We also explore:


Why Trump voters aren’t turning out at the same levels—and how to fix it


The 80% issues Republicans may be failing to capitalize on, like voter ID and border security


How Democratic policies on taxes, spending, and immigration could reshape the midterms


The growing disconnect between economic data and voter perception


Why messaging—and where voters get their information—may decide the election


Early insights into the 2028 Democratic primary battle, including Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, and the rising progressive wing

Plus: What history—from the 2002 and 2010 elections—can teach us about defying midterm trends, and whether Republicans are making the same mistakes all over again.

👉 Bottom line: It’s not about personality—it’s about issues, turnout, and communication. And right now, both parties are fighting to define all three.

The battle over DHS funding has erupted into a high-stakes political showdown—and the consequences could reshape U.S. immigration policy for years to come.
