Episode Synopsis "What’s Ahead for Mainstream Republicans in the Trump Era?"

Republican Senate Candidate Chris Vance speaks out. When it became clear that Donald Trump would be the Republican Party candidate for the Presidency, Chris Vance made it known that he would not support Trump. His stance put him at odds with Trump supporters and others in the state Republican Party as Vance sought to unseat Democratic incumbent Patty Murray in the U.S. Senate race. Vance lost to Murray by a sizeable margin. Now the former state Republican Party chair is left to wonder where he fits in as a mainstream Republican in the Trump Era. Vance talks with KCTS 9’s Enrique Cerna and Political Analyst Joni Balter about the Trump presidency, its impact on the Republican Party and where it leaves him politically.
