Details: “Election Season” with Sarah Leach, *Tuesday,* September 15, 7pm, Port 393, Holland, MI
Journalist Sarah Leach is a careful observer of local and state politics. I have my eye on national and international politics. Together, we have a good sense of the political scene as we head into “the most consequential election of our lifetime” yet again.
How do we feel about polling? Can we trust it at all?
Trump’s approval is low and he is not on the ballot. Will that lead to big margins for Democrats? Is the MAGA coalition breaking?
Tucker Carlson seems to be leading the populist right. He opposes Israel. He opposes the war with Iran. I’m hearing more support for universal health care from the Bulwark crowd (never Trump Republicans). Is a truly populist right emerging?
Israel is playing a major role in Michigan politics and national politics. Where is this all heading and how will it affect the 2026 midterms? What is going on with Hillary Scholten and her support of Israel?
If Democrats win control of the House and the Senate, what should they do with that power?
We will cover all of this and more. Join us next Tuesday!
