  • President Trump was busy last weekend.

  • Kennedy sent her honors.

  • It's like sometimes you could say, like people, you either have it or you don't.

  • Great sound in this building.

  • Crash the staff holiday party at the White House.

  • Many of you have been with me from the beginning until the first term, and we love you all,

  • and I just want to wish you a very Christmas, a happy new year, a happy holiday.

  • But all Trump wants for Christmas is for Indiana Republicans to pass a new congressional match.

  • If they stupidly say no, vote them out of office.

  • They are not worthy.

  • And I will be there to help.

  • Thank you, Indiana.

  • Trump thinks he can gerrymander his way to victory in the 2026 midterm elections.

  • But some Indiana Republicans aren't buying it.

  • Trump and his MAGA movement have taken over the GOP.

  • But in Indiana and beyond, there are some signs of cracks in the coalition.

  • That's coming up on Today Explained from Vox.

  • Support for the show comes from Odoo.

  • Running a business is hard enough,
