Summary

Did New Jersey just give President Trump a powerful new argument on election integrity? Michael Smerconish and Mark Halperin debate the facts, the politics and the future of the SAVE Act before turning to the increasingly unpredictable 2026 midterms. Plus: the political danger of the Iran war, JD Vance’s comments about Israel, Susan Collins’ fight for survival, and the clues suggesting Mark Kelly may be positioning himself for a 2028 presidential campaign.
