In an interview with CBS News, Donald Trump acknowledged that a big reason for the GOP electoral bloodbath was his mass deportations. In one sense, this is absurd, given his elevation of Stephen Miller as chief of staff. But in another sense, Trump did admit to things in the interview that are anathema to MAGA: That undocumented immigrants are good workers, and that Americans think immigration is good for our country. MAGA erupted wildly over this. One influencer raged that if Trump does amnesty, “I’m done.” Another insisted that this would be a “disaster.” Still another fumed: “WITHOUT DEPORTATIONS, OUR COUNTRY IS GONE.” We sorted through all this with political scientist Julia Azari, who’s been writing well on this election for the “Good Politics/Bad Politics” Substack. We discuss what Trump revealed about the MAGA coalition’s crackup, the deeper forces driving it, why JD Vance will struggle to knit it back together, and how Democrats can drive wedges deep into it going forward.

Republicans are “panicking” about what the midterm debacle has done to their presidential map for 2028, Politico reports. Some Republicans fear Texas is now very gettable for the Democratic electoral college map. Other worry that Ohio and Iowa have reverted to true swing states. One Republican suggests the Trump “brand” has become a weapon against the party. Meanwhile, Trump seethed that if he’d been on the ballot, Republicans “WOULD HAVE WON IN A LANDSLIDE.” He fumed that the stock market downturn is the fault of “Dumocrats.” He suggested he will still vanquish Democrats by delivering gains that are “BIGGER AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE.” He even raged at America for the “sad” outcome, declaring: “you only have yourselves to blame!” We talked to Paul Waldman, who’s been writing well about the midterm fallout. We discuss why Democratic gains in the South and Rust Belt have hidden significance, how to make them truly transformative, and whether a new Democratic Party is being born.
