Chris Matthews on TPSUSA 2026: This Is ‘Prepping for the Midterms,’ It’s a Difficult Challenge to Bring This Big Tent Back Together

RUSH EXCERPT:MATTHEW: "This is a pivot. You know, we’ve had story after story that the White House is putting their thinking caps on and going to try to come up with a plan for the economy. Again, it’s kind of shocking that we are so late and that they’re only now getting to it. And this is now prepping for the midterms. I guess there’s a big meeting at the Waldorf on Monday around midterm strategy. Clearly the talking points usa, Charlie Kirk you know, god rest his soul. You know, this was a big, massive movement in the Republican Party and around MAGA. And now today you’re seeing that come together, but with many different fractures along many different fault lines, the economic, the war, certain cultural issues. So it is a persistent challenge. And then you saw Trump again, kind of do a greatest hits. He was coming from vegas. This was almost like a an old Frank Sinatra trying to to bring out all the hits. But they hit differently right now. And again, you know, I’ll recognize what meg just said. There is no legislative agenda, no ideas on the economy that will either excite people or rally them, bring them out. So it is a very difficult challenge to try to bring this big tent back together. Now, between the war, the economy, with so many fault lines that could only, you know, expand as we head towards November."
