Episode Details

Ronny Jackson, Texas Republican and retired Navy admiral, is vying for the top House Armed Services Committee chairmanship—on the condition he wins reelection in November. He’s positioning himself to advance Trump’s defense agenda and boasts strong fundraising for GOP candidates, despite a past Navy rank demotion he claims was politically motivated. He’s not alone: Virginia’s Rob Wittman, seen as the front-runner with more committee seniority, and Mississippi’s Trent Kelly are also in the running. The outcome hinges on Republicans retaining their House majority, making this a high-stakes race as Election Day nears.
