## Resource

Mark Halperin uses his reported monologue to explore how Democrats have let support for victims of crimes committed by illegal immigrants become a damaging issue and moral failure, even as Angel Moms have been central to Donald Trump’s immigration message and mission for more than a decade. Mitch Modell joins to share his take on the state of the economy and an innovative solution to the housing shortage. Plus, Tricia McLaughlin explains how AI is poised to completely transform campaigns and political strategy. Mark also unpacks Trump’s upcoming trip to China and the Trump-Xi face off.
