On the latest episode of Nir & Rupar, our live weekly video show, David Nir of The Downballot and Aaron Rupar of Public Notice talk about the fallout from ICE’s killing of Alex Pretti, both in Minnesota and nationwide.

David and Aaron discuss:
Why any talk of a “drawdown” in the Twin Cities or a “softening” in Donald Trump’s approach is sheer nonsense — as anyone who lives in the area, like Aaron, can tell you
How Trump refuses to react like a normal politician in the face of horrific polling numbers — but why the media still (wrongly) expects him to
Why a thunderous special election victory in St. Paul just days after Pretti’s death shows voters are willing to defy the risks to send a message
And much more!
