Trunk n’ Tails is a political podcast from Around The Table With Stacy Smith, bringing together two Democrats and two Republicans for thoughtful, civil, and solutions‑focused conversations. Each episode explores the issues shaping today’s political landscape, offering balanced perspectives, respectful debate, and insights that help listeners make sense of the news without the noise.
The President has shown his power in the primaries, but will that carry over to the Mid-Term election especially with high prices and the conflict with Iran? The Democrats have seen their Progressive wing flex its muscle in the primaries, but how strong will that wing be in the fall? Also, both parties are dealing with anti Semitism. It’s a lively discussion in the latest edition of “Trunk n’ Tails.”
Have political threats and violence become normal? And what is the impact of social media on such violence? That is part of what we explore in the latest edition of “Trunk n’ Tails.” Former Republican Gov Tom Corbett, PA State Democratic Party Chair Eugene DePasquale and political veteran Joe Mistick also give their opinions on what will happen in the mid-term elections and the future of Senator John Fetterman.
The war with Iran is dominating the news cycle and the political conversation. In this edition of “Trunk n’ Tails,” my panel of political analysts discuss the war’s impact on both domestic and international fronts and the political ramifications for the Trump administration. We also look at the upcoming midterm elections and voter enthusiasm and whether it favors one side over the other.
The Trump Administration is making a lot of headlines, but will any of these issues play a part in the midterm election? I hope you join us as my analysts, PA Democratic Party Chair Eugene DePasquale and veteran GOP political analyst Keith Schmidt, give their views on the upcoming midterms. We explore the impact of global issues on voter sentiment, the impact of the economy and the strategies both parties must adopt to succeed. And we also discuss the leadership dynamics of the Democratic Party and potential candidates for the 2028 presidential election.
