Susan Kokinda of Promethean Action joins us for a major conversation about President Trump, the midterm elections, American manufacturing, and the economic changes that could reshape the country. Susan Kokinda, host of the Promethean Action YouTube show and newsletter, examines the political challenges facing Republicans as Trump fights to maintain control of Congress.
Can Republicans overcome the historical midterm disadvantage? Susan Kokinda discusses the battle for the House, where rising energy prices, inflation, and international conflicts are creating political pressure. Some Republicans believe they can expand their majority, while others warn that Democrats could gain dozens of seats.
The Senate presents another fascinating battle. Susan Kokinda weighs in on expensive races in Texas, along with Republican efforts to compete in Michigan and Minnesota. We also examine Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and the issues shaping that contest.
But Susan Kokinda says there's a much bigger economic story Americans need to understand. Through Promethean Action, Kokinda examines Trump's efforts to rebuild American manufacturing, expand industrial production, and create higher-paying jobs. We discuss how these initiatives could strengthen communities, expand the tax base, and support programs like Social Security and Medicare.
Susan Kokinda also joins us for a revealing discussion about the differences between Democratic and Republican leadership in America's biggest cities. Comedian Adam Carolla recently argued that voters sometimes become accustomed to struggling public services and stop expecting meaningful improvements.
Susan Kokinda and I examine crime in Chicago, immigration spending in New York, education challenges in Baltimore and Minnesota, and disagreements over taxes on tips and overtime. We also explore why gasoline prices vary dramatically between states.
The central question Susan Kokinda raises through Promethean Action is whether Americans are paying enough attention to long-term economic development instead of focusing exclusively on today's political headlines.
With control of Congress at stake, Susan Kokinda brings her perspective on manufacturing, jobs, economic opportunity and the policies that could shape America's future.
