Tara is joined by Republican consultant and former chief of staff to Mitch McConnell, Josh Holmes, and they begin their conversation by discussing Donald Trump’s current standing within the GOP and what the party has done to streamline the somewhat mercurial relationship with its presumptive nominee. They then dive into all of the tight senate races around the U.S. and shine a light on the Republicans' path to regain the majority in the chamber.
