Then, veteran Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth joins Dana to discuss the controversies surrounding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Finally, Democratic Rep. Jake Auchincloss, Republican strategist Kristin Davison, and CNN Political Commentators Jamal Simmons and Shermichael Singleton break down Republicans’ angst over affordability concerns ahead of the midterms.
