Brooks and Marcus on how Republicans are responding to midterm lossespbs.org· 23h
On the PBS NewsHour, David Brooks and Ruth Marcus join Amna Nawaz to weigh how Republicans are responding to midterm losses: President Trump moved JD Vance off the Iran war, claiming Vance said Republicans lost because of it, House Republicans picked Jim Jordan as leader, and Senate Democrats' Chuck Schumer faces a challenge from Chris Van Hollen. Marcus says Trump was briefed twice that Nvidia's Jensen Huang was having an affair with a Chinese asset, and Nawaz reports Vance is weighing skipping a 2028 run.
