About this listen

 JD Vance is one heartbeat away from the presidency, and he's a big part of the Republican Party's future. It turns out, his ideas are also part of the reason the second Trump term has been a lot more pure MAGA than the first. POLITICO's Ian Ward returns to the show to recap Vance's first few months in office, his political future, and go deep on some of the New Right's major intellectual influences.

By Ian Ward:
  • The Spiritual Case for Greenland
  • There’s No Need to Guess. JD Vance Is Ready to Ignore the Courts.
  • Curtis Yarvin’s Ideas Were Fringe. Now They’re Coursing Through Trump’s Washington.
  • The Seven Thinkers and Groups That Have Shaped JD Vance’s Unusual Worldview
