## Resource

In this edition of The Big Ben Show, Ben Domenech dives into the startling New York Times-Siena poll numbers revealing a country fractured by age. While older Americans largely support the President’s military actions in Iran, voters under 44 are opposed and deeply pessimistic about the economy. Fox News Chief Political Analyst Brit Hume weighs in on whether the war is a strategic victory or a failure and the potential for an AOC or Gavin Newsom run in the future. Later, Rep. Nancy Mace joins the show to discuss her race for Governor of South Carolina. She outlines her plan to eliminate state income tax and why she is retiring from a broken Congress that prioritizes clicks over substance. Learn more about your ad choices.
