As US President Donald Trump continues to grow more and more divisive, many former Republicans continue to find themselves searching for a new political home.
In this Substack Live, John Harwood speaks with ex-Republican and The Bulwark’s editor-at-large Bill Kristol about the broadening political opposition to Trump in the run-up to the 2026 midterm elections.
Kristol tells Harwood that while he thinks Democrats will have victory in the midterms, “I don’t think that crushes the MAGA movement. I think it stalls it.”
The conversation between Harwood and Kristol was live on Zeteo.com and the Substack app, and both took questions from subscribers in the live audience.
