About this listen

Affordability was supposed to be the primary focus of 2026 as Republicans try to shore up voter support ahead of the midterms. Instead, nearly every day this year has been dominated by headlines surrounding President Donald Trump’s extraordinary intervention in Venezuela. Whether the Trump administration can successfully tell voters why they should care about the Venezuela action could go a long way in defining the success of the operation. White House reporters Megan Messerly and Myah Ward discuss what it will take for Trump to drive his message home.
