Tactical Pause Podcast

Tactical Pause is a political podcast born out of a years-long group chat between combat veterans.We’re two veterans connected through our service in the U.S. Army who don’t always agree — but we do believe that politics should be discussed with honesty, context, and an understanding of real-world consequences. These conversations aren’t scripted, performative, or built around talking points. They’re the same arguments and debates we’ve been having privately for years — now recorded.⚠️ Adult language and unfiltered opinions.

  Trump, the Midterms & Republicans Trying to Have It Both Ways

  Sep 28, 202633 minS2

  Republicans are starting to distance themselves from Donald Trump as the midterms approach — but why now? In this episode of Tactical Pause, we dig into the shifting political landscape heading toward the midterms. We discuss Republicans breaking with Trump on key issues, the ongoing negotiations involving Iran, voter suppression concerns, GOP spending in districts once considered safe, and the White House battle with CNN, MS NOW and Politico. Are these genuine changes in priorities, or are candidates responding to the political pressure of an approaching election? We give our perspectives on what we're seeing and what it could mean as voters head to the polls.
