Could a Democratic landslide in 2026 actually help JD Vance win the presidency? JVL and Jasmine Green answer your questions about Trump’s purge of military leadership, the future of the anti-abortion movement, the allegations at Cornell, and which MAGA heir would make the least disastrous president. Plus, JVL gets personal about parenting, politics, and why he misses the America of 20 years ago.Watch previous Triad Mailbag editions here.
A transcript, edited for clarity and concision, is linked here.
