State of the Union Fallout: Democrats' Missed Opportunity and the 2028 Political Landscape
In this dynamic premiere of Practically Political's new trio format, host Dave Spencer is joined by permanent co-hosts Kurt Bardella (former Republican turned Democrat) and Ashley Davis (Republican strategist) for a candid analysis of the current state of politics. The panel dissects Trump's lengthy address to Congress and the Democrats' ineffective response, debates the likelihood of a government shutdown, and explores Kamala Harris's potential run for California governor.
The conversation takes unexpected turns as they evaluate who might lead both parties in 2028, with surprising mentions of ESPN's Stephen A. Smith and The Rock as potential Democratic candidates. Kurt doesn't hold back in his criticism of his adopted party, while Ashley offers insider Republican perspective on budget negotiations and entitlement reform. From Social Security's uncertain future to Gavin Newsom's shifting positions, this episode delivers frank, bipartisan analysis you won't hear in mainstream political coverage.
