Chris Cillizza and Matt are back to unpack the results of the latest round of primary elections (in California, Iowa, New Jersey, and more!).
On today's pod, they discuss:
— Iowa: Josh Turek (Paralympian with an incredible backstory) wins big — and now has a real shot at flipping a Senate seat!
— Rob Sand emerges as Democrats’ strongest Iowa gubernatorial candidate in decades
— Anti-incumbent wave: Sitting congressmen lose or underperform in Iowa, Texas, and South Dakota
— California Governor primary: Steve Hilton (R) leads early, but Xavier Becerra will likely win in the top-two system
— LA Mayor race: Incumbent Karen Bass heads to runoff against reality TV star Spencer Pratt — a clear protest vote against establishment failure on homelessness and crime
— Trump’s power tested: Senate Republicans kill the controversial “slush fund” deal and push back on other boundary-testing moves
— Media shakeup: Barry Weiss at CBS, Scott Pelley’s exit, and what it means for legacy news
— And MUCH more!
