Welcome back to High Stakes, a limited series from Kara Swisher and cohost Hillary Clinton. Ten years after Hillary called Trump Putin’s “puppet” on the debate stage, the label is back, and so is the fight over Russia. Corruption is now one of voters’ top concerns. If Dems take the midterms, Kara and the Secretary break down what a Democratic Congress should investigate first. Plus: Hillary looks back on her time as a young lawyer during the Nixon impeachment inquiry, and the two weigh in on Trump’s push to rename New Mexico. Everything you need to prep for midterms, right here. Chapters: 02:17 TRUMP AND RUSSIA SANCTIONS 11:54 MCCONAUGHEY’S PITCH TO INDEPENDENTS 21:42 JD VANCE’S FRAUD PLEDGE 23:17 HOW CORRUPTION AFFECTS VOTERS 40:34 HOW TO GET ACCOUNTABILITY 54:46 FOCUS GROUP 57:13 MIDTERM OUTLOOK
Why is Trump making so many concessions to Russia now? I think it's three things. #HighStakes https://t.co/51tJ1CpMFC
