Simon Rosenberg on Trump's decline and the expanding "circle of defiance"

Simon Rosenberg

has long been one of the most interesting and original thinkers in the Democratic Party’s strategist class. I’ve been talking with him about politics on and off for over twenty years, and he is frequently ahead of the curve.

During an hour-long conversation yesterday, we dicussed why he thinks Trump’s polling drop may be irreversible, the contagious effects of what he calls the “circle of defiance” against Trump, what the media gets wrong in its coverage of MAGA, his advice for Democrats eager to take advantage of Trump’s recent vulnerabilities, why he thinks the 2028 Democratic presidential primary field will include 15-20 candidates—and why that’s a good thing.
