Heather Cox Richardson identifies a change in American politics. And it’s coming from the people.  If historian Heather Cox Richardson ever had an agenda, it’d be protecting democracy. The history professor and author of the “Letters from an American” Substack joins Nicolle this week to consider the knock-on effects of economic pain at the grocery store and unpredictability at the podium on voter’s perception of Trumpism. She reflects on violence from ICE officers in her home state of Maine, the whiplash messaging in the war with Iran and concerns about the cyclosporiasis outbreak — which she sees as emblematic of places “where the federal government used to protect American families and are no longer.” Throughout, Richardson seamlessly adds historical context to our modern-day political struggles. She draws parallels between the moment that we’re in and the rise of the Republican party in the 1850’s, noting that — similar to the way Democratic leaders are responding to the public’s evolving concerns — “the people invented Lincoln.” And she makes it clear that we may already have the clarity we need: “What Americans are really doing in this moment is recovering their agency,” she says. “That’s a vibe shift.”

Senator Raphael Warnock calls Donald Trump a “desperate man” and a “failed president,” and points out that while Trump puts on a performance to undermine confidence in the U.S. election system, Americans are struggling with the challenges of life in his economy. Warnock says he knows there are Republicans who realize Donald Trump isn’t telling the truth, and calls on them to see past partisanship and speak out against Trump in the name of patriotism.
