The Decline of Trump's Popularity

Welcome back to another episode of The Hot Dish, where we dive deep into the heart of America’s rural and small-town landscapes.


Former Missouri Senator, Claire McCaskill, joins us to share her perspectives on Trump’s impact throughout the midwest due to his influence by the dark corners of the internet. Comedian and co-host of the popular youtube channel The Liberal Redneck, Trae Crowder, provides a refreshingly candid look at the changing dynamics within the conservative base. This episode also touches on crucial topics such as immigration, the economic realities of tariffs, and the fight for reproductive rights in challenged states like Missouri and Florida. Tune in for a rich dialogue that not only critiques but also seeks solutions, providing a roadmap to a more inclusive and hopeful future.


Join us on The Hot Dish every other week, where we serve up hearty conversations that resonate with every corner of the country. The Hot Dish serves up the unfiltered truth straight from the heartland.
