Meghan McCain TORCHES Vivek's Amy Acton Attack Ad + Trump's Polling Problems

Has Vivek Ramaswamy finally gone too far?

Meghan McCain and Miranda Wilkins welcome back comedian, attorney and Fraudsters podcast host Seena Ghaznavi for a fiery conversation about the Ohio governor's race, Donald Trump's political troubles, the MAGA podcast backlash and the rapidly approaching midterm elections.

First, Meghan is furious over a controversial campaign ad featuring Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton's estranged mother, who attacks her daughter's character and disputes her account of her childhood. With Acton's documented history of childhood abuse at the center of the controversy, Meghan, Miranda and Seena question the judgment behind the ad, whether family trauma should ever become campaign ammunition and whether Vivek has seriously damaged his chances in Ohio.

Then, as new polling raises questions about Trump's approval and the Republican Party's prospects in November, the trio examines why government corruption and affordability are resonating with voters. Are Americans finally connecting political privilege, tax policy and their own rising bills?

Plus, are the MAGA podcast bros losing their influence? With new polling suggesting declining favorability for figures including Joe Rogan, Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson among young men, Seena weighs in on the comedians and influencers who helped elect Trump and whether their audiences are beginning to turn on them.

The conversation also heads to Michigan, where Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is facing scrutiny over his comments about Black Detroiters' experiences with Arab and Middle Eastern store owners. Seena offers his perspective as an Iranian American, while Meghan and Miranda debate El-Sayed's political instincts and whether he can win over skeptical voters.

And looking ahead to 2028, is JD Vance already the chosen Republican nominee? Could Marco Rubio surprise everyone? Meghan makes the case for Jon Ossoff as a formidable Democratic contender, Miranda pitches an Ossoff-Gretchen Whitmer ticket, and Seena explains his enthusiasm for JB Pritzker.

Plus, Meghan and Miranda tease their upcoming interview with Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz following their viewing of the Elizabeth Holmes film You Can See Everything.

It's an episode full of sharp disagreements, unexpected common ground and plenty of laughs on Citizen McCain.
