With the first cracks in MAGA’s unity beginning to show, Christiane and Jamie are asked what the future of the movement looks like and whether the Democratic Party will be strong enough to take advantage of those cracks and build a lasting majority. Also on the agenda - the president has threatened to ban several nations from competing in the forthcoming US-hosted FIFA World Cup, as well as claiming he’ll move fixtures away from Democratic states to Republican ones. Is the FIFA Peace Prize that's been awarded to the President an attempt at appeasement?
