David Frum on China, Voting Rights and U.S. Politics

Thought Leader: David Frum
September 30, 2026

In a new episode of The David Frum Show, The Atlantic’s David Frum examines several consequential issues shaping American politics and the country’s position on the world stage. Frum opens with his perspective on Chinese President Xi Jinping’s recent state visit to the United States, discussing President Donald Trump’s conduct during the visit and arguing that the administration’s approach has weakened America’s position in its strategic competition with China.

Frum is then joined by former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder for a wide-ranging conversation about voting rights, redistricting, and the 2026 midterm elections. The two discuss changes affecting the Voting Rights Act, ongoing disputes over gerrymandering, concerns surrounding election administration, and the responsibilities of attorneys general when they believe a presidential directive is unlawful. Frum closes the episode on a literary note with a discussion of Robert Harris’s novel Agrippa.

A longtime political commentator and former presidential speechwriter, David Frum brings historical context and a global perspective to conversations about American politics, democracy, and international affairs. For audiences navigating an increasingly complicated political and geopolitical environment, Frum offers analysis designed to illuminate the forces shaping institutions, alliances, and public policy.
