    In this episode of The Rob Kendall Show, Rob breaks down the growing political drama surrounding Donald Trump, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, and Senator John Cornyn. After Trump suggested Paxon’s comments could push him to support Cornyn instead, Rob examines how quickly Republican candidates rush to prove their loyalty to Trump — and why that trend could be dangerous for the party. Rob argues that Cornyn represents the classic Washington establishment figure, but also notes that Trump has backed similar figures before, pointing to Lindsey Graham as an example. The discussion centers on what Rob sees as a troubling shift within the GOP: the expectation that Republican officials must show total allegiance to Trump rather than represent their constituents independently. The episode also covers Paxon’s proposal to drop out of the Senate race if lawmakers agree to end the filibuster and vote on a national voter ID bill, along with Paxon’s public statement emphasizing his loyalty to Trump. Rob questions the political strategy behind tying policy demands to personal loyalty and explores what it says about the current direction of Republican politics. Rob's guest today is IndyStar Columnist James Briggs discussing why Mike Braun's approval rating in Indiana is so low. And why Republicans are lashing out at former Republican Mayor Greg Ballard.

    3/5/26 - GOP Turns on Greg Ballard After Independent Bid for SOS, Trump Approval Poll, Data Center Debate
    Mar 5 2026
    Rob Kendall analyzes the political fallout after former Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard announced he will run for Indiana secretary of state as an independent candidate. Kendall discusses a recent poll showing Ballard pulling support from Republican incumbent Diego Morales and the swift reaction from Republican leaders after Ballard’s announcement. The episode examines how Ballard was once promoted by Republicans as a model leader who could win in a blue city and why the tone changed after he entered the race. Kendall also reviews questions about Ballard’s residency after living in South Carolina, compares those criticisms with past controversies involving Morales, and discusses the potential impact of Ballard’s candidacy on the statewide race. Later in the show, Kendall reflects on the legacy of former Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz following his death at age 89 and speaks with former Indiana Sen. Jim Merritt about Ballard’s campaign and Merritt’s new book about lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic. The episode also covers polling on Donald Trump’s approval rating and a proposal for a new data center in Indianapolis. The Rob Kendall Show streams live every weekday from 10am-noon ET.
