The current American president seems unable to manage economic issues that directly and positively affect the American people.

These and other failures result in declining poll numbers that point to his unpopularity. Longtime political strategist Brad Bannon offers listeners his experienced and inside view on the US Midterm Election of 2026 given these realities. Listen in and meet our guest:
