Promethean Overviews • Gen Z and President Trump: The Battle for the Midterms

Gen Z will play a defining role in the 2026 midterms—but what exactly is at stake?

In this episode, Mike Steger argues that the real battle isn't just about winning elections. It's about whether America revives the economic principles that once made it a global powerhouse.

From Trump's push for tariffs and manufacturing to Alexander Hamilton's vision for the American economy, this episode explores why investing in America's young people—not outsourcing their future—could determine the next century of American prosperity.
