In this week’s episode of “The David Frum Show,” The Atlantic’s
David Frum opens with his thoughts about the recent state visit by
the Chinese president Xi Jinping to the United States. David
discusses President Trump’s embarrassing behavior at the dinner and
how he has isolated the United States in its rivalry with China.
Then, David is joined by former Attorney General of the United
States Eric Holder to discuss the dismantling of the Voting Rights
Act, the battle over gerrymandering, and whether Americans can
expect the 2026 midterm elections to be free and fair. Frum and
Holder also discuss how attorneys general should react to unlawful
orders from the president. Finally, David ends the episode
with a discussion of the novel “Agrippa,” by Robert Harris. - - -
