62. Right now, Americans are absorbed by the Epstein files drama

It's a world class conspiracy theory and has the added benefit of setting MAGAts against each other. Sit back and enjoy.

There's plenty of time to talk about kitchen table issues. In fact, Dems won't even have to talk about them because by the time Nov 2026 rolls around, everyone will be feeling the impact on their wallets of what Trump and his sheep in congress did. And they'll know who did it. And they won't believe what Trump tells them because he "betrayed" them by not releasing the Epstein files.
