Jim Messina joined Alicia Menendez on On the Line this morning to break down Republicans’ closing argument heading into November. While Republicans gathered at their convention in Dallas, Hakeem Jeffries launched an affordability ad targeting NFL fans during opening week. Jim explains why running on fear instead of a plan for the future is a losing strategy, what JD Vance’s tightrope walk at the convention tonight means for his 2028 ambitions, and why the clips coming out of Dallas are going to hurt Republican candidates in competitive races this fall.
“You only run on fear when you have nothing left to offer.”
