On today’s edition of The Scott Jennings Show, Scott examines the ideological battle within the Democratic Party, reacting to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s comments about the excesses of “Woke 1.0” and efforts by Democrats to present a more moderate image ahead of the midterms. Rep. Russell Fry joined the program to preview South Carolina’s closely watched Republican Senate primary and make his case to succeed the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, while Democratic strategist Julian Epstein explained why he is breaking with his party’s nominee Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and supporting Republican Mike Rogers. Later, Sen. Jim Banks discussed the latest developments involving Iran and recapped the Senate’s work before the August recess, including the Todd Blanche confirmation, government funding, birthright citizenship, voter ID legislation, and the SAVE America Act. Scott also weighed in on the latest WNBA controversy involving Sophie Cunningham and remembered former Congressman and Dukes of Hazzard actor Ben Jones, who died at age 84.
