In the latest edition of “The Schmidt Storm,” I answer your questions about the impact of RFK Jr.’s endorsement, Trump’s World War III fear-mongering, and the Harris-Walz ticket’s first joint media interview:
The Warning with Steve Schmidt is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
I love the Schmidt Storm. Thank you for the sage wisdom, Steve.
My fear is based on something you pointed out. I use North Carolina as the example. This state elected Mark Robinson Lieutenant Governor, despite his constant slandering of women or calling school shooting survivors “little bastards.” He defeated a woman who projected normalcy and decency by 300,000 votes. Imagine that?
So, I do have this fear about the people around me and I remain unwilling to cede to them the future. I just worry that I have found myself outnumbered.
I love “The Schmidt Storm,“ Steve, especially your answering subscribers’ questions. Here’s mine:
I have read countless pieces by opinion writers, Substackers, etc., as well as commenters to such, excoriating Trump. However, I have encountered precious few addressing his supporters. Trump is only the symptom of a deeply disturbed swath of our country (almost half!). To me, this support is the most underreported story out there.
Why do you suppose this is? Are political reporters/writers afraid of offending his supporters?
