In this episode of "The Rest Is Politics US," Katty Kay and Anthony Scaramucci discuss current political events, starting with the New York mayoral race and the potential impact of a socialist mayor. They then delve into the "No Kings" protests, analyzing the motivations and demographics of the protesters, and debate whether Trump's dismissive attitude towards these protests is a strategic mistake. The conversation shifts to the possibility of Trump invoking the Insurrection Act and its potential consequences for future elections and the Republican Party. Finally, they discuss the strained relationship between Trump and Zelenskyy, with Scaramucci suggesting Trump's actions are influenced by Putin, possibly due to compromising information, while Kay offers alternative explanations based on Trump's admiration for strong leaders and his frustration with the ongoing conflict.
