The Cake Is Almost Baked: Doug Sosnik on Trump, the Economy, and the 2026 Midterms

Political strategist and longtime presidential adviser Doug Sosnik joins Michael for a deep-dive into the forces reshaping American politics. Sosnik explains why 57% of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track, how the K-shaped economy is driving voter frustration, and why education level has become the single strongest predictor of how Americans vote. They discuss President Trump’s approval ratings, what history tells us about midterm elections, why politics is now fully nationalized, and how economic anxiety — not messaging — continues to define elections. A must-listen conversation for anyone trying to understand where the country is headed next.
