Tara is joined by Politico’s national political correspondent Meridith McGraw, and they begin their conversation by discussing Donald Trump’s recent campaign stops in the Bronx and New Jersey and the effect they could have on his standing with voters in the area. They then pivot to the moves Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis have been making since dropping out of the presidential race, before sharing their reactions to the Trump hush money trial's closing arguments.
