Amanda Carpenter and Evan Gershkovich: Trump's and Putin's Authoritarian Projects

About this episode

Vigilance is still in order, but Trump’s efforts to rig the midterms have so far flopped. And that includes Trump’s self-sabotaging of his own plan to blame China for hacking our voting machines. But should the Dems win back Congress, they’re going to be busy tracing all the money that was stolen for the ballroom, the arch, and Pentagon contracts with Trump family members. Plus: Evan discusses his new book, which memorializes both his 16 months in Russian captivity—and the recent history of Russia at war under Putin. Amanda Carpenter and Evan Gershkovich join Tim Miller. show notes: • Evan’s book, “This Cursed Beautiful Land” • Protect Democracy’s Substack • Andrew in “Morning Shots” on impeaching Trump again • Sam and Will on Texas’s Bo French • The Bulwark’s campaign to help the Haitian community of Springfield • The Bulwark store
