Fake the Nation host Negin Farsad joins Jon, Tommy and Dan live in Portland! Frenemies Donald Trump and Mike Pence campaigned in Arizona on Friday for two different Republicans running for governor – the same day that their former campaign manager Steve Bannon was found guilty on two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to testify before the January 6th Committee. Then, Democratic candidate for Oregon’s 5th District Jamie McLeod-Skinner joins to talk about how she won her primary against a Biden-backed incumbent and why her win against a MAGA Republican in the midterms is so consequential.
