The Trump Backlash Builds - a podcast by New Republic

Massive Democratic over-performance in multiple special elections has captured the attention of both liberals and conservatives wondering whether the Trump backlash will stymie the Republican agenda or even win Democrats control of the House in 2018. Nobody knows if this trend will continue, just as we don't know what the economy will look like in eighteen months, or what Trump himself will do between now and next November. One thing we do know though is that his administration will continue to be bogged down in scandal, including perhaps the biggest scandal in American History.

Brian Fallon worked on Capitol Hill and in the Justice Department for years before serving as Hillary Clinton's campaign press secretary. He spoke with New Republic Senior Editor Brian Beutler about politics, the backlash to Donald Trump and how revelations about the Trump campaign's ties to Russian intelligence are likely to shape both.
