Donald Trump has come out with the surprise announcement that he is supporting Amendment 3, a Florida ballot measure that will legalize marijuana use in the state. While most of his fellow Republicans in Florida still oppose the measure, the stance puts Trump to the left of the Harris/Walz campaign on this issue.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the various ways Trump is outmaneuvering the Democrats to their left during this campaign.

“Jimmy Dore is outrageous and outraged, bothersome and bothered. A crucial, profane, passionate voice for progressives and free-thinkers in 21st century America. Jimmy will anger you if you’re a conservative and enrage you if you’re a liberal.”—Patton Oswalt
