On this edition of The Federalist Radio Hour, Americans for Prosperity Managing Director Kent Strang joins Federalist Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to discuss the wave of socialism playing a large role in the 2026 midterms, how it has gotten a dangerous foothold in American politics, and the battle it creates over the foundational freedoms of Western Civilization. They also discuss the real causes of higher prices and how Republicans should tout the economic success of the One Big Beautiful Bill.
