In this special interview edition of "The Daily Signal Podcast," Rob Bluey interviews Jonathan Baron, founder of Baron Public Affairs and host of "The Political Risk Brief" podcast. Baron reveals his firm's groundbreaking research on the conservative influencers who helped fuel Trump's electoral victory using a parallel conservative media ecosystem that bypassed traditional outlets. He details the three key groups of influencers—amplifiers, specialists, and mavericks—who shaped the media narrative. Baron believes four major "betrayals" of the American public set the stage for Trump's rise. Since then, Trump has used his unique abilities to position himself as a "centrist" while still taking strong stances on controversial issues. Listen to learn more about the new media landscape and how it will impact Trump's second term.
