Chris Cuomo vs. Michael Knowles: The heated debate over Jon Ossoff

Chris Cuomo zeroes in on the arguments MAGA will make in the midterms, including its defenses of tariffs and the war with Iran. He says that despite recent gains, America has seen increased manufacturing job losses, lower factory construction spending and rising small business bankruptcies under Donald Trump and his tariffs. Cuomo notes that 60% to 70% of Americans say they do not understand why the U.S. went to war with Iran right now, and he describes MAGA's attacks on Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff—and Ossoff's viral comment about a female Trump aide—as a "Hail Mary." One of the leading voices in the conservative movement, Michael Knowles, joins "CUOMO" for a fiery debate.
