On the latest episode of Nir & Rupar, our live weekly video show, David Nir of The Downballot and Aaron Rupar of Public Notice examine why some top Republicans are now embracing Trump’s most disgusting conspiracy theories after years of stiff-arming him.

David and Aaron discuss:
Why House Speaker Mike Johnson recently echoed Trump’s stolen election claims— even as some other Republicans hammered Trump for his racist social media post about the Obamas.
Why Democrats have the upper hand in negotiations over ICE funding, and it’s not just because of the polling.
Why Republicans are freaking out after a stunning special election upset in Texas last weekend — and why they’re right to do so.
And much more! We also took several questions from viewers, which we love to do. Folks who are paid subscribers to either of our publications can participate in our Q&A!
