Firing Line with Margaret Hoover

NY Times’ Maggie Haberman casts doubt on Ron DeSantis as the ‘Trump-stopper’


Listen Later

New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman joins Magaret Hoover to discuss her coverage of former President Donald Trump and her new book, “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America.”

Haberman explains how the pursuit of fame has driven Trump throughout his life and how his years on “The Apprentice” set the stage for his political ascent. She also deconstructs some of the myths he has promoted about his life and his business record.

The Pulitzer Prize winner discusses Trump’s legacy as president and the fallout from his chaotic final days in office, as well as the political and legal risks he now faces from various investigations. She also reflects on how Trump has warped the reality of the Republican Party and continues to wield influence.

As a longtime observer of both Trump and the GOP, Haberman offers insight into whether Trump will run again in 2024, what a second term might look like, and whether anyone in the party would be willing or able to challenge him for the nomination.
