Alex Wagner’s Runaway Country episode ‘Stopping the Steal’ examines election claims


Crooked Media released a Runaway Country episode titled “Stopping the Steal (Again)” on July 30, 2026, in which host Alex Wagner examines renewed efforts to challenge U.S. elections.

The episode page on Crooked Media says the installment focuses on whether Donald Trump will try to subvert the midterm contests and notes the show was published July 30, 2026 as part of Runaway Country’s series.

Crooked’s episode page lists Errin Haines and Joy Reid as guests; the site describes a conversation with Haines about Georgia — “the state Trump has focused his most intense efforts of election interference” — and a discussion with Reid about “Trump’s latest efforts to subvert the election,” according to the episode description.

The Crooked Media summary also frames the episode around a recent personnel move it describes as bringing “one step closer to stealing the next election,” and names the confirmed official discussed in the episode text; readers should note those characterizations come from the show’s description.

Why it matters: the episode connects reporting from Georgia and conversations with national hosts to the broader debate over election denialism and interference tactics, positioning the podcast as a venue for assessing risks ahead of the midterms.
