Daily Wire managing editor Dylan Houseman returns to Behind the Story to break down his on-the-ground reporting from James Fishback's failed Florida gubernatorial primary bid. Houseman traces how Fishback built an online following through anti-Israel, anti-AIPAC rhetoric that dog-whistled to Nick Fuentes' "Groyper" movement, then travels to two very different campaign events — a rural church rally full of ordinary populist voters barely mentioning Israel, and an election-night party packed with young out-of-state Groypers who traveled in as if on pilgrimage. Host Tim Rice and Houseman dig into what the split says about whether online extremism actually translates into electoral power, why Byron Donalds' strategy of simply ignoring Fishback may be a smarter model for Republicans dealing with provocateurs, and whether this youth energy fades with age or gets absorbed — and tempered — by the institutions these kids eventually join.

We look at the state of play in rightwing politics. Reporting from Brent Scher & Dylan Houseman. Plus, we speak with the former Congressional Budget Office Director, Douglas Holtz-Eakin.
