With the midterms just 43 days away, Mike and Senator Rick Scott make the case that the central political choice facing voters is about more than personalities or campaign distractions—it’s about competing visions for the role of government and the American dream. Scott argues that Republicans need to focus relentlessly on affordability, jobs, education, public safety and opportunity, while Mike zeroes in on the growing influence of socialism within the Democratic Party. They also confront a problem Republicans can't ignore: even with accomplishments on the border, jobs and crime, voters are still feeling the squeeze of higher costs. The conversation ultimately turns to whether Republicans can make the case for freedom and opportunity strongly enough to cut through the noise and remind voters what they believe government should—and shouldn't—do.
