Summary

Rick Wilson (political strategist and co-founder, The Lincoln Project) joins Chris Cuomo to break down the GOP’s ongoing identity crisis, the Democrats’ messaging failures, and the rise of independent voters reshaping the political landscape. Wilson explains why Trumpism still dominates the Republican Party, how Democrats are struggling to connect with mainstream voters, and why both parties risk alienating the public. Cuomo and Wilson debate whether America is ready for a viable third-party movement, the impact of economic anxiety on 2025 politics, and how media narratives are distorting reality in the lead-up to the next election.
