Opinion | ‘There’s No Juice Left to Squeeze From MAGA’The New York Times publishes a transcript of a 33-minute episode of its Opinion podcast "The Opinions," in which Robert Siegel, E.J. Dionne Jr., and Tim Carney debate whether MAGA can outlast Donald Trump after 2026 midterms that upended assumptions about where either party can win. Carney argues the Trump vote was never truly conservative or Republican and says Republicans have no juice left to squeeze from MAGA, while Dionne cites Democrats' 56 percent House popular vote and predicts they will push popular legislation like restoring health care cuts.
