How quickly will a GOP reckoning force Trump into lame duck status in 2026?
On this mystical episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, veteran Washington journalist and SiriusXM host Julie Mason returns to pull tarot cards and peer into the political futures of Washington's power players heading into the pivotal 2026 midterms. From Trump's impending judgment and potential revolt within the GOP, to Elon Musk's retreat from drama, JD Vance's simmering frustrations, rising forces like Erica Kirk's empire-building ambitions, and Democratic shifts involving Gavin Newsom's money motivations, Kamala Harris's colder reinvention, and emerging figures like Wes Moore—the cards reveal upheaval, fresh starts, scandals of the party's own making, and a Republican Party in chaotic reformation.
Which political prediction from Julie's tarot reading surprises you most heading into 2026?
