Graham Platner has suspended his Senate campaign following allegations of sexual assault that he continues to deny.

Ian Bremmer (President & Founder, Eurasia Group and GZERO Media) joins Chris Cuomo to break down the biggest geopolitical and political questions shaping America today, from Iran and Israel to artificial intelligence, China, and the growing anti-establishment movement transforming U.S. politics.

As America marks its 250th birthday, Chris Cuomo argues that one institution has quietly done more than any other to preserve the country’s constitutional system: the judiciary. Cuomo breaks down four recent Supreme Court cases that have generated intense political debate, explaining what the rulings actually said, why so many people misunderstood them, and what they reveal about the role of the c...

Chris Cuomo argues that corruption—not inflation, immigration, or the culture war—is the issue that could reshape American politics. Using Jared Kushner’s business dealings as a case study, Cuomo explains why he believes the Trump family’s financial relationships deserve far greater scrutiny and why anti-corruption should become the defining issue of the next election. Cuomo examines Kushner’s inv...

Chris Cuomo breaks down why Stephen Miller’s latest attack on Democrats may reveal more about MAGA’s vulnerabilities than the opposition’s. Cuomo argues that the populist anger that propelled Donald Trump to power hasn’t disappeared—it has grown—and that the same frustrations driving voters today could ultimately be turned against Trump and the Republican establishment.   Cuomo also explains what...

Marjorie Taylor Greene (former U.S. Representative for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District) joins Chris Cuomo for one of her most candid conversations yet, explaining why she believes Donald Trump has broken key promises to the MAGA movement, why she refuses to give unconditional loyalty to any politician, and why she says Trump—not her—is the one who changed. Greene discusses her growing disagr...

Chris Cuomo breaks down all 14 points in the Trump administration’s Iran Memorandum of Understanding and explains why he believes the fine print tells a very different story than the public messaging. Cuomo walks point by point through what the memo says about sanctions relief, frozen assets, reconstruction funding, the Strait of Hormuz, military de-escalation, Iran’s nuclear program, and the unre...

Chris Cuomo explains why a bizarre moment at UFC 250, when heavyweight fighter Josh Hokit declared “Michelle Obama is a man” during a post-fight interview, revealed something much bigger than a bad joke. Cuomo argues that MAGA has drifted away from the populist movement that once appealed to frustrated and disaffected voters and has instead become a spectacle centered on loyalty, grievance, and at...

Chris Cuomo reacts to new inflation data showing consumer prices rose 4.2% in May—the highest level in three years—and explains why he believes the report could become Donald Trump’s biggest political problem.

James Carville (political strategist & consultant) joins Chris Cuomo to explain why he believes Donald Trump poses a unique threat to America, why Democrats need to stop playing defense, and why he thinks it’s time to go all-in against Trump and MAGA. Carville argues that Trump’s actions are doing lasting damage to the country, while Cuomo challenges whether anger and escalation are actually the b...

Chris Cuomo lays out what he believes are the three signs of a coming political apocalypse: Trump’s transformation of MAGA into a movement centered on personal grievance and retribution, the rise of outsider candidates like Graham Platner who can survive scandals and scrutiny that would destroy traditional politicians, and the upheaval surrounding Scott Pelley’s firing from 60 Minutes. Cuomo argue...

Chris Cuomo explains why he believes there will be no meaningful deal with Iran anytime soon, arguing that Trump’s approach suffers from three major flaws: Iran’s leadership doesn’t trust him after he abandoned the original nuclear agreement, the United States entered this confrontation without the international coalition that made previous negotiations possible, and America lacks the political wi...

Chris Cuomo explains why the Texas Senate race between Ken Paxton and James Talarico may be the clearest test yet of whether MAGA politics are finally colliding with economic reality.

He also breaks down why he believes...

Chris Cuomo responds directly to viewers accusing him of ties to Jeffrey Epstein, calls out what he sees as blatant hypocrisy surrounding January 6, and warns against the growing number of Americans casually talking about political violence and civil war. He also explains why social media and “gotcha politics” are making it harder for people to think critically or engage in good faith. Joined by p...

Chris Cuomo lays out the analogy he says explains this entire political moment: Ronald Reagan was Superman, and Donald Trump is Bizarro — the dark, distorted mirror image selling the same thing with none of the charm. Trump isn't original, Cuomo argues. He's running Reagan's playbook with all of the darkness and none of the optimism. Cuomo breaks down the structural parallels: the same supply-side...

Neil deGrasse Tyson (astrophysicist, “StarTalk” podcast host, and author, “Take Me to Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter”) joins Chris Cuomo for a wide-ranging conversation on why the longtime UFO skeptic is finally taking the UAP conversation seriously — and what changed. Tyson explains why the recent wave of military whistleblowers and congressional hearings pushed him to en...

President Trump's state visit to China was over before he even left the ground. In his comments to reporters before departing for Beijing, Trump said he doesn't even consider Americans' financial situation when making foreign policy decisions — that the only thing that matters to him is keeping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. That admission, paired with what's actually happening at this summit...

Jeremy Corbell (investigative journalist and co-host, “Weaponized” podcast) joins Chris Cuomo to discuss the latest push for UAP transparency, the 46 military videos Congress wants released, and why he believes the public is closer than ever to learning what the government knows about unidentified anomalous phenomena. Corbell explains how he and veteran reporter George Knapp have spent years obtai...

Chris Cuomo lays out the top five ways Donald Trump is screwing the MAGA movement that put him in office — the fundamental failures that will define the midterms, not the daily noise. Chris walks through the death of America First, a war in Iran Trump promised he'd never start, the spending and debt that has betrayed every conservative principle, a healthcare crisis Trump is ignoring, and the way...

Chris Cuomo uses the Met Gala as a jumping off point for a bigger argument about the midterms and the widening gap between those in power and the people they claim to represent. With Trump fumbling affordability, health care, and a war in Iran with no clear exit, Cuomo argues the opportunity to fight for working people has been handed to anyone willing to pick it up — and events like the Met Gala...

Chris Cuomo reacts to the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey over a “86 47” seashell Instagram post and the controversy surrounding Jimmy Kimmel after his “expectant widow” joke about Melania Trump. Cuomo argues that going after figures like Comey and Kimmel over speech doesn’t weaken them—it makes them more powerful. In his view, efforts by Donald Trump and his allies to punish critics...

Chris Cuomo breaks down the aftermath of the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting and why the response says more about the system than the event itself. Cuomo unpacks the Norah O'Donnell 60 Minutes interview where Trump was pressed on the shooter's manifesto, and asks why a network correspondent platformed the writings of a madman in the first place. He argues the violence wasn't just about...

Ian Bremmer (President and Founder, Eurasia Group and GZERO Media) joins Chris Cuomo to break down where the Iran war is actually heading — and why the short-term politics are masking a much more serious long-term problem. Bremmer walks through the state of the ceasefire talks, the role Jared Kushner is playing in negotiations, and why Trump now has marginally more leverage than he did in the firs...

Chris Cuomo breaks down the central claim driving the U.S. response to Iran: that the regime was on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon. Drawing on recent reporting and statements from international watchdogs, Cuomo argues that the timeline being presented publicly does not match the underlying facts. He explains the critical distinction between enriched uranium and a deployable nuclear weapo...

Chris Cuomo argues that President Trump has “lost the plot” — focusing on Iran while missing the issues that matter most at home. He breaks down why the current approach to Iran may be strengthening the regime’s influence rather than weakening it, and why the justification for urgency around nuclear threats doesn’t fully hold up under scrutiny. Cuomo also explains how messaging failures and strate...
