Former WAPE Big Ape morning show host-turned-conservative podcaster Mark Kaye is challenging incumbent congressman John Rutherford. We ask the first-time candidate why he’s targeting the four-term incumbent lawmaker, what he’s learned about politics in his almost 20 years in media, and why he thinks he’s equipped to take on D.C. politics. We also ask him about courting controversy for retweeting a photo of President Trump surrounded by AI-generated Black supporters and what he sees as the biggest challenges for the Jacksonville-to-St. Augustine 5th Congressional District.
Guest: Mark Kaye, candidate for Florida's 5th Congressional District and host of Mark Kaye Saves the Republic
