Donald Trump's approval numbers have fallen precipitously since the election, but so far the drop has brought him back to the muddied earth he's used to rather than burying him underground. Given the upheaval in voter sentiment toward the parties over the past decade, it's hard to tell the dark horse from the frontrunner. So Henry summons NBC's national political correspondent Steve Kornacki from his tour on the Triple Crown circuit to help us get some traction on what these numbers could mean in '26.

Henry takes a deep dive into this necessary bold strategy. Then he's joined by NBC's national political correspondent Steve Kornacki. The two discuss the president's failure to gain traction as Trump maintains momentum. Plus, Henry takes a close look at two ads for Tony Gonzalez — one from his campaign, the other from the RCJ SuperPac — against challenger Brandon Herrera in Texas 23.
