Voters Are Shifting, But Who Does It Benefit?
On this episode of Ruthless, the fellas dive into the latest gaffe from President Joe Biden. It seems he’s having trouble getting from point A to point B and forming coherent sentences. The Democrats had to bring in the big guns – former President Obama – to try to save the day. It’s not a great look when the previous president appears more alert than the current one. This clip sparked a lot of reactions, and the fellas break down why it’s such a significant moment. Next, the fellas discuss a critical shift in American politics. Will a high-turnout environment in the presidential election actually help Republicans over Democrats? Recent cycles suggest this might be the case. The hosts analyze the data and what it means for the upcoming elections. Plus, the fellas will touch on Chuck Schumer’s Twitter fiasco, where he got cyber-bullied into deleting a tweet about his poorly cooked hamburger on Father’s Day. It’s a funny story you won’t want to miss. The Progrum is excited to have a special guest on today’s show – Sam Brown, a US Senate candidate from Nevada. He has an incredible story that is both inspiring and compelling.
