Cast your vote HERE: https://wbby.co/57448N Jessica Tarlov sits down with Tommy Vietor — co-host of Pod Save America, Pod Save the World, and the former National Security Council spokesperson under President Obama — to unpack the chaos behind Donald Trump’s so-called “ceasefire” with Iran. Trump is claiming victory — but on the ground, missiles are still flying, Israel continues strikes in Lebanon, and Iran is tightening control over the Strait of Hormuz. So what, exactly, was achieved? Tommy breaks down whether the deal was flawed from the start, what it signals about U.S. credibility abroad, and whether Trump is opening himself up to “weak on Iran” attacks at home. Then, the political fallout: Democrats clash over Israel and Gaza as the Democratic National Committee faces deep divisions on foreign policy, a growing fight over engaging influencers like Hasan Piker to win back young voters, and new scrutiny surrounding JD Vance’s role in international negotiations. And back home, the race to replace Gavin Newsom takes a dramatic turn after Trump endorses Steve Hilton in the California governor's race — a move that could reshape the field in unexpected ways.
