Margaret Hoover is a political commentator and host of Firing Line, the PBS weekly public affairs show started by the conservative icon William F. Buckley in 1966. Hoover also served as associate director of Intergovernmental Affairs in the White House under President George W. Bush. She and Preet discuss if any of the Republican presidential primary candidates can challenge Trump, what to expect from the GOP debates, and the legacy of her great-grandfather, Herbert Hoover.
Plus, Preet discusses the dismissal of Trump’s countersuit of E. Jean Caroll, the potential for Trump’s Truth Social posts to influence the presiding judge, and why criminal defendants often don’t testify at their trials.
