US voters punish Trump but is MAGA finished?

The Democrats have stormed back into power, seizing control of both the House and Senate and delivering a political blow to Donald Trump. But while the mid-terms may be over, the race to define America’s future is only just beginning. Is Trump now a lame-duck president, or can he still dominate the Republican Party from the White House? And as cracks begin to appear in the MAGA coalition, who is ready to take up the mantle? With Republicans facing difficult questions about their future and Democrats already looking towards the next presidential race, the battle for 2028 has begun. Kevin Doyle is joined by Lorcan Nyhan of The Communications Clinic and Professor Scott Lucas of the Clinton Institute at UCD to examine what the mid-term results mean for Donald Trump, the Republican Party and the future of US politics.
