Show Notes
In the first ever episode of the D.C. Sources Podcast, hosts Maura Gillespie, Meghan Hays, and Eli Stokols analyze the biggest developments shaking up Washington, D.C. and the upcoming 2026 midterm elections.
From Donald Trump's controversial first-of-its-kind midterm convention in Dallas to escalations in the U.S.–Canada trade conflict and results from the New Hampshire primaries, the panel breaks down what these moves mean for everyday voters across the United States and people around the world.
Is the Dallas convention a necessary base-rallying strategy, a donor money grab, or a vanity project? The team evaluates the $2.5M price tag, security costs, and the risk for vulnerable Republicans.
Are the US and Canada enemies now? as each government refuses to back down from an escalating trade war?
And is Chris Pappas or John Sununu more likely to entice voters across New Hampshire? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
