On this episode of “On Balance,” Batya Ungar-Sargon fills in for Leland Vittert. Primary election results are coming in tonight. NewsNation’s Connell McShane provides live updates as we keep our eyes on Kentucky and other states, including Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Oregon and Pennsylvania. Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., has already paid the price for going against President Trump, losing his primary. Now, all eyes are on Kentucky, where Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., is fighting for his seat after also being targeted by Trump. Batya takes a closer look at the political fallout facing Massie and the price of breaking with Trump. Can conservatives still be Republicans while also disagreeing with the president? Meanwhile, looking ahead to 2028: Is the heir apparent Vice President JD Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio? 2WAY’s “The Morning Meeting” co-host Larry O’Connor, National Review columnist Caroline Downey, and Democratic strategist and civil and criminal defense attorney Donte Mills predict what comes next. Later, Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., is almost certainly running for president. As 2028 approaches, Californians are struggling more than the average American, grappling with higher gas, grocery, electricity and housing costs. Is President Newsom what the U.S. needs right now? Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, D-Va., and Rep. Kevin Kiley, I-Calif., discuss. Plus, how the war in Iran is impacting the U.S. economy. Farmers and truckers are especially struggling with high fertilizer and gas prices. National Black Farmers Association founder John Boyd joins truck driver and author Gord Magill, author of “End of the Road,” to discuss how the rising costs are affecting their work.
