On the latest episode of Nir & Rupar, our live weekly video show, David Nir of The Downballot and Aaron Rupar of Public Notice discuss the lame-duck status that’s starting to seize Donald Trump — and what it means for his control over the GOP.

David and Aaron discuss:

* How Trump’s miserable polling numbers are undermining his efforts to wreck American democracy.

* Why Trump completely lost control over the Epstein files story — and why a continued cover-up is likely.

* The implications of the major new ruling blocking the Texas GOP’s gerrymandered map.

And much more! We also took some great questions from viewers.
