Molly Ball on Primary Races, Immigration, and Back-to-School Season




The Federalist Radio Hour show

Summary: Molly Ball, politics writer at The Atlantic, joined Mary Katharine Ham on Federalist Radio to recap Tuesday nights primary results, talk news of more deleted Hillary Clinton emails, Trumps flip-flopping on immigration. Last nights biggest races to watch included John McCains in Arizona and Marco Rubios in Florida. This is the beginning, make no mistake, of Marco Rubios presidential positioning for a future presidential run. Hes not really even trying to hide it, Ball said. Despite huge gafs by Hillary Clinton every few weeks it seems, such as the emails related to Benghazi just released, Trump doesnt attack her as much as he could. The reason the polls are narrowing is because Hillary is sinking a little bit and I would give props to the media for this because we dont just chase whatever Trump has decided is a story, Ball said. Later in the hour, they swapped back-to-school stories as summer comes to a close. My first lunch box, which Ive always been sort of proud of, was tin not plastic, and it was Gremlins, Ham said.
