About this episode
On Tuesday night in Georgia, a crowded Republican field tested the strength of President Donald Trump’s endorsement of Republican Clay Fuller. In a race to fill the seat once held by former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, the question weighing over this year’s critical midterm elections, is whether the president’s backing is a help or hindrance? As these contests unfold alongside domestic economic concerns and major global tensions, what can they tell us about where American politics is heading? USA TODAY Chief Political Correspondent Phillip M. Bailey joins The Excerpt to share his insights on the latest elections.
