Trump’s response to an ‘era-defining drubbing’? More MAGA.
Chris Hayes's MS NOW commentary show argues that after Republicans were wiped out in both chambers of Congress, Trump's party has made no real concessions — House Republicans elected MAGA stalwart Jim Jordan over Steve Scalise as minority leader, an impeachment vote against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was shut down, and Trump refuses to fire Hegseth despite the Iran war being, in Hayes's view, his lifetime's least popular foreign policy disaster. Hayes contrasts this with George W. Bush, who fired Donald Rumsfeld the day after the 2006 midterms, and predicts things will change come January.
