MAGA vs America First: Trump, Israel and the Future of the Republican party.

MAGA vs America First: Trump, Israel and the Future of the Republican party.

Did Donald Trump change the Republican Party forever, or will he one day be remembered as an exception rather than a transformation? For nearly a decade, Trump has reshaped American politics. But as debates emerge over foreign policy, particularly Israel, Iran, Ukraine, and America's role in the world, questions are growing about what comes next for the Republican Party. Is the MAGA movement evolving into something new? What is the difference between MAGA and America First? And what happens to conservatism after Trump? In this episode of The View From Here, Jasmine El-Gamal speaks with Andrew Day, Senior Editor of The American Conservative, about the evolution of conservative politics in the United States, the changing Republican coalition, debates over foreign intervention, the role of Israel in Republican politics, and the future of the America First movement. Together they explore whether Trump permanently transformed the GOP, what younger conservatives believe, why foreign policy has become a dividing line within the Republican coalition, and what the future of American conservatism may look like after the Trump era.

Can Democrats Learn to Listen? Gaza, Representation, and the Future of American Politics

Can the Democratic Party learn from the mistakes that cost it the last election? For years, conventional wisdom in American politics held that foreign policy doesn’t really move voters. That assumption is being tested. Gaza, Israel, Palestine, America’s role in the world, and questions of morality in foreign policy have become increasingly important to many voters — and they’ve made that clear. Public opinion has shifted. Some candidates have shifted. But the machinery of Democratic politics — consultants, donors, party institutions, and the networks that shape power and influence — has often moved much more slowly, or not at all. So what does political inclusion actually mean today? Who gets heard? And how do communities transform representation into real political power? In this episode of The View From Here, Jasmine El-Gamal speaks with James Zogby — founder and president of the Arab American Institute, longtime civil rights advocate, and veteran of Democratic Party politics — about why this moment in American politics feels so potentially transformative. They discuss Democratic Party strategy, Gaza, coalition politics, voter frustration, political machinery, and the changing relationship between identity, representation, and power in American public life.

Tommy Robinson's Unite The Kingdom March: Grievance, Propaganda, and Engaging the People Who March

I went to Tommy Robinson's Unite the Kingdom march to hear directly from people attending and left thinking we should engage MORE, not less, with them. Many people disagree, arguing that people who attend a march led by a convicted criminal who has been banned from multiple countries and social media platforms should be shunned or shamed. But my question is, if we don't talk to each other, what is the alternative? To unpack this question, I spoke to Julie Siddiqi and Ibrahim Said from the UK Muslim Network. Let us know what you think in the comments.

High Stakes Summit: Trump, Xi, and a changing world

President Donald Trump is in China this week for a high-stakes summit with President Xi Jinping and the world is watching the relationship that may define this century. For most people, US-China relations can feel abstract. A contest between two great powers, played out through issues like trade and technology. The reality is that this relationship affects almost every aspect of our daily lives: from the prices we pay at the pump and in grocery stores, to the technology we use, and even the information we consume online. China seems increasingly confident, while the United States is entering these talks under the weight of a war in the Middle East, economic anxiety at home, and growing questions about America’s role in the world. So what kind of relationship are these two countries, these two men, really building? Is it based on rivalry? Interdependence? Or something more complicated? This week I spoke to Ali Wyne, Senior Research and Advocacy Advisor for U.S.-China Relations, at the international crisis group and Author of the book, “America’s Great-Power Opportunity” (Polity, 2022)

How to Tackle Rising Antisemitism: My Conversation with a Rabbi

Antisemitism is on the rise, and Jewish communities around the world are ever more fearful for their safety. Meanwhile, the conversations in the media around how to tackle this growing problem are more often than not divisive and oversimplified. So I reached out to Rabbi Daniel Epstein, former Chief Rabbi at the Western Marble Arch Synagogue in London and now in Australia, to have what we knew would be a tough discussion. We have been in an ongoing conversation for over two years about many of the issues you will hear in this episode. Let us know what you think in the comments.
