Is Saagar Enjeti left or right?
Enjeti is the right-wing half of Breaking Points, the independent populist news show he co-founded with left-populist Krystal Ball in 2021 after the pair left The Hill's Rising — the show won Best Political Podcast at the 2026 iHeartPodcast Awards. His conservatism is populist and nationalist rather than establishment: he emphasizes economic nationalism, working-class wage stagnation, immigration restriction, and hostility to corporate influence in both parties. He is also firmly in the foreign-policy restraint camp — in mid-2025 he sharply criticized Trump's backing of Israeli strikes on Iran as a betrayal of the anti-war lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan, arguing the restraint movement itself was in peril. That combination makes him sympathetic to the America First realignment on substance while remaining a critic of the Trump administration when it drifts hawkish or corporate.
