Mark Halperin

I’ve spent decades covering presidential campaigns up close, and in today’s @NextUpHalperin I break down what it actually takes to survive one. I revisit how Bill Clinton navigated the 1992 scandals with a crisis strategy that still defines the playbook, then I look ahead to 2028 and why so many potential candidates could quietly (or loudly) decide the risk just isn’t worth it. cc: @RubenGallego @StephenMoore joins me to argue that artificial intelligence isn’t just another tech cycle—it may be the fastest economic transformation in modern history. And @larrywilmore brings his signature edge to the cultural moment, reflecting on the comedy boom and why live audiences are surging back.

I had a brief chat to President Trump this morning asking him about his hopes for a deal with Iran. He told me “We’re gonna see…. You’ll know over the next short period of time. We’re in very good shape. We’ll get it one way or the other , everything is going to work out very well. One way or the other….it makes no difference …” @itvnews

We want to be in the European Union. And I am confident that if some representatives of the EU do not make mistakes, we will be there. We are already strengthening the EU, first and foremost from a security perspective. And today, security is a priority for everyone. A union that could be much stronger – I believe this would be a union of such countries as Norway, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and Türkiye. These are four countries that the European Union is lacking. Because Türkiye and Ukraine together outmatch Russia’s army: from control of the Black Sea to control of airspace. I know there are questions when it comes to Türkiye. I know that the United Kingdom has left the European Union. I know that Norway has many different forms of cooperation and economic ties with the EU, and so on. But I still believe that these four countries would make the EU the strongest union in the world, with the best security in the world. We are not seeking an alternative. I simply believe that these four countries are very strong and would make the European Union stronger. And even these four countries on their own would certainly form a very strong union. From an interview with the "United News" telethon (3/5).

“I’m here to tell you that tonight we are headed towards a deal, a tentative deal,” says @Markhalperin, “where I believe the central question in Iran will be, ‘show me the money,’ and the central question in the United States will be a political question: Is this the Obama deal?” Mark — drawing on his reporting — describes the outlines of a hypothetical, 15-year deal in which Iran takes clear steps to arrest its nuclear weapons program in exchange for a “sequenced removal" of sanctions and unfreezing of assets. The question, Mark says, is “would President Trump be accused, if that’s the deal. of simply getting an Obama deal plus?” #IranWar‌ @2waytvapp

“Haley Stevens, who in Michigan is the big favorite of the establishment, and probably has the best chance to win a general election against Mike Rogers, was booed at the state party convention,” says @MarkHalperin about Stevens, a Democrat in a key 2026 Senate race. Says @LarryOConnor, “it should be noted that Stevens was booed because of her support of Israel. That’s still an issue in all of those campaigns you just mentioned for Democrats.” @KevinPWalling @2waytvapp

.@pmarca says we may have lived through an era of 'suppressed volatility' from the end of the Cold War to around 2014, where centralized media suppressed political volatility. "If you track how distributed is media versus how centralized is media, centralized media sort of peaked somewhere around 1970." "Literally like all the newspapers in every city consolidated down to like a single newspaper." "Obviously those days are over."

.@pmarca on the Current Thing: "Everybody has to have an opinion on the Current Thing. It's the most important thing in the world. And then 24 hours later it's like it never happened because something else has become the Current Thing." "As long as the internet is the medium of choice, we're going to live in a world in which this is the cycle now. It's like a 24, 36-hour news cycle." "The role of mainstream media for the rest of our life is just going to be to follow the internet viral posts."
