In The Tank

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, Chris Talgo are joined by Samantha Fillmore for episode 417 of the In The Tank Podcast. A recent ABC/Washington Post poll shows Donald Trump holding a nine point lead over President Biden if the general election were held today. What would happen if he wins in November of 2024? How would the media react? How would the government react? Would Trump be barred from claiming office? The ITT crew gets deep in to speculation territory.
