Part of any midterm election year is trying to guess the larger
trends to see how our politics are evolving in one direction or
another.

“Progressives are gaining momentum!” Except not in Wisconsin this
past week. “President Trump can steer any primary vote his way!”
Or not, given that his ally Mike Lindell didn’t advance in the
Minnesota Governor’s race.

We talk about the nuance and surprises from the latest primaries,
and how the emerging message might be that voters just want new
faces and new energy.

Plus, President Trump faces the inescapable reality that he’s
lost support for the war in Iran among voters and his own party.
The Washington Post also breaks the story that Trump secretly
flew out of Turkey last month because of a threat, leaving Air
Force One – and reporters and key Trump officials on board – to
be used as a decoy.

And the WNBA has been getting its moment of glory, while also
getting dragged into the culture wars.
