Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down Trump’s nationwide “affordability blitz,” where he’s touting falling gas prices and insisting his tariffs will help the middle class — even as consumer sentiment sinks, layoffs top a million, and businesses warn prices will jump in January. The White House is scrambling in response, launching a food price-fixing probe and rolling out a $12B farm bailout, all while Republicans splinter over how to handle Democrats’ ACA subsidy extension. From there, they turn to South Carolina Republican Nancy Mace, who’s taking aim at her own party’s leadership for sidelining rank-and-file members — especially women. Her blistering op-ed argues the GOP is too timid, too male-dominated, and at real risk of losing its majority. Finally, they head to Texas, where an unexpected Democratic matchup — James Talarico vs. Jasmine Crockett — is reshaping the 2026 Senate race.
