## Resource

Tonight on America at Night with McGraw Milhaven: Mark Chandler, retired U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence Officer and former Deputy Director for Intelligence, joins the show to discuss the latest developments involving Iran and the United States, including the apparent collapse of the latest Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Chandler explains what the breakdown could mean for regional stability, U.S. foreign policy, and the broader geopolitical landscape. Jessica Taylor, political analyst for The Cook Political Report, examines the growing political battle surrounding the Platner/Paxton race. Taylor breaks down the candidates, the stakes of the contest, and what the outcome could mean for the political landscape heading into the next election cycle. Later, Jesse Wegman, former editorial board member at The New York Times and author of The Lost Founder: James Wilson and the Forgotten Fight for a People's Constitution, discusses the remarkable but often overlooked legacy of Founding Father James Wilson. Wegman explores Wilson's influence on the Constitution and why his contributions deserve greater recognition as America approaches its 250th anniversary. Learn more about your ad choices.
