The MTG & DJT split: What’s really behind the MAGA “divorce”?

PLUS: John Williams aims to slide into Georgia's open state Senate seat tomorrow w/a locally focused platform

Ron breaks down ⁠the growing rift between former President Donald Trump and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene⁠—a split that has quickly shifted from quiet tension to ⁠an open political break⁠. ⁠Their disagreement⁠ over releasing the Epstein files has triggered new divisions inside the GOP and raised questions about how Greene’s recent attempts at moderation are being received by voters in Georgia’s 14th District.

Ron is joined by Wendy Davis, co-host of ⁠The Kudzu Vine⁠ podcast and former Democratic candidate in GA-14, who offers local insight into ⁠Greene’s evolving tone⁠, her increased visibility on national media, and how these changes compare with her long-standing record. Davis explains why many constituents remain skeptical and highlights how Greene’s positions on major legislation continue to shape opinions in the district.

The conversation also digs into the broader Republican landscape, including the reactions of Georgia’s 2026 Senate hopefuls. Potential GOP challengers to Greene—such as Colton Moore and Laura Loomer—are on the radar, raising the prospect of a competitive primary that could reshape the district’s political dynamics. The conversation closes with a look at the Democratic field, including Shawn Harris, and the qualities that may resonate with voters amid these shifting dynamics.

Even Eric Erickson's conservative insights prove to be somewhat valuable here.

Then there's "dirtbag" ⁠Congressman Mike Collins⁠, who signaled support for ⁠releasing the Epstein files⁠ after Trump reversed his own position. Ron notes only his and his GOP Senate combatants' pivoting upon Trump's sudden change-of-heart re: Epstein Files release, and what this all means for ⁠party alignment and how GOP leaders are adjusting their views⁠ in real time.

Oh, and libertarian talk radio firebrand Eric von Hessler agrees that Mike Collins is a "dirt bag." Ron speaks with ⁠Georgia Senate District 35 candidate John Williams⁠, highlighting John's locally-focused platform for a state-level special election.
