Stephanie Ruhle Says Trump Faces a Reckoning in the Midterms'

"I had to pause and consider all that happened in just this month, she said. The U.S. military seized the president of Venezuela. The president threatened to invade Greenland. ICE agents shot and killed Renee Good. The DOJ opened a criminal investigation of the Fed chair. The president threatened new tariffs against our closest allies. Border Patrol agents shot and killed Alex Pretti. The FBI raided a critical election hub in the state of Georgia. And now the arrest of two journalists."

"But as the chaos continues, even intensifies, what we cannot do is take our eye off the ball because all of it is headed to one place nine months from now, when this administration faces a reckoning in the midterms. But the White House seems less interested in winning over the American people and right now, more interested in dominating the American people."

"Amid heightening tensions in Minneapolis this week, Trump dispatched Border Czar Tom Homan to the city in an apparent attempt to lower the temperature. Homan suggested that the Department of Homeland Security would begin to draw down some of the 3,000 immigration agents in the area if certain conditions are met. On Thursday night, however, Trump dismissed the idea."

The Department of Justice released additional Jeffrey Epstein files and arrested journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort for covering a protest at a Minnesota church. January included high-profile events: the U.S. military seized the president of Venezuela; the president threatened to invade Greenland and to impose new tariffs on close allies; ICE and Border Patrol agents fatally shot Renee Good and Alex Pretti; the DOJ opened a criminal investigation of the Federal Reserve chair; and the FBI raided a critical election hub in Georgia. The White House seems more focused on dominating the American people and consolidating power ahead of the midterms. Trump sent Border Czar Tom Homan to Minneapolis, where Homan proposed drawing down some of the roughly 3,000 immigration agents if conditions were met, a proposal the president later dismissed.
