OM DENNE EPISODE
The stakes could hardly be higher as the US heads towards the midterm elections, with President Trump's political future and legislative agenda hanging in the balance. The outcome will determine whether Republicans can maintain control of Congress and shape the race to succeed Trump, while growing tensions within the MAGA movement raise fresh questions about the future of his coalition. Much of the political conversation has focused on the so-called "MAGA civil war" over Iran, but another battle is unfolding on the left. More than 35 Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates have defeated moderate Democrats in primary races, signalling the growing influence of the party's progressive wing. Led by figures including Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Zohran Mamdani, the movement is reshaping the Democratic Party - but not without fierce opposition from within. Meanwhile, Democrats are grappling with the rising influence of the party's progressive wing, as figures including Zohran Mamdani and Hasan Piker divide opinion. Republicans are also facing scrutiny over controversial Colorado gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx following his primary victory. With both parties backing increasingly polarising candidates, the question remains whether American politics is moving further away from the centre and what that could mean for the country's future. Piers Morgan is joined by Republican candidate for governor of Colorado, Victor Marx, Democratic Socialist candidate in South Florida, Oliver Larkin, former national press secretary to Bernie Sanders, Briahna Joy Gray, former Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson, and former Republican congressman and presidential candidate, Joe Walsh to discuss.
