Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas are back for Raging Perspective with three weeks until the midterms.
Trump is teasing a “midterm surprise” that he says could make history — hinting that OMB Director and Project 2025 architect Russell Vought is behind a major announcement coming in the next few weeks. This comes as 42% of Trump’s 2024 Latino voters now say they’re disappointed or regret their vote. Aaron breaks down what the surprise might be, what the Latino voter shift means for the final stretch, and his concerns about the possibilities of AI generated content impacting the election.
France is in its third week of escalating student protests over the state of public schools. Yesterday’s demonstrations were among the most violent yet — the Prime Minister has suspended high school classes for the rest of the week, and police have fired tear gas and water cannons at students blockading schools. Any takeaways for American politics?
The first of four Maine Senate debates in just ten days took place last night. Republican Senator Susan Collins and Democrat Troy Jackson went head to head on immigration, tariffs, and rising fuel costs. Aaron scores the debate and previews what he thinks might happen in November.
Abdul El-Sayed is now distancing himself from Hasan Piker after campaigning with the controversial streamer throughout the primary — reportedly calling Piker directly and warning that his rhetoric was costing votes, asking him to tone it down. Smart move or too late?
New leaked audio from a Paxton fundraiser has the Republican Senate nominee blaming the Iran war and rising gas prices for his campaign struggles — telling donors that affordability is “by far our biggest problem” and admitting “I don’t make the decisions.” Is Paxton already playing the blame game?
And finally: Christian YouTuber Gabe Poirot went viral on Fox News for describing his 18 days in heaven during a coma after a 2021 skateboard crash, including his experience meeting Jesus. Aaron and Jess react.
Plus, questions from the audience.
Join us next Wednesday at 12pm ET for the next edition of Raging Perspective.
