A Candidate’s Moment of Reckoning

Season 2025 Episode 2 | 4m 15s

In this hypothetical scenario, minutes before a rally, a candidate learns that a former staffer faked a viral video that’s fueling their campaign. Then the President calls, urging him to lean into the lie because voters love it. Will the candidate choose truth over strategy? Is honesty the path to becoming a hero? The next move might define history.
