Progressive Democrats are surging in primary elections across the
country, but the party establishment is worried they’ll lose this
November. Republicans think those progressives will be easier to
beat, too.

So how will this intra-party fight among Democrats play out and
determine control of Congress? And why is the GOP so sure they
can beat progressive Dems when some polls show their party is
underwater with voters on the economy?

Plus, the president campaigned to secure elections using false
claims. House Republicans advanced his elections bill – the SAVE
America Act – just as two election deniers advanced in Arizona’s
Republican primaries.

And we talk about the Iran war. Republicans passed extra military
spending to keep it going, so do those Republicans now own an
unpopular war?
