On today’s podcast conversation, Chris Cillizza and Matt discuss:
— Massive polling misses in Michigan and Wisconsin. One reason this happened?: Under-sampling middle-aged Black voters and rural Democrats
— Clear evidence that DSA and DSA-aligned candidates are underperforming with Black voters — the same coalition that blocked Bernie Sanders
— Why 2026 is likely a referendum on Trump and the economy, but 2028 could see the “socialism” label stick and drive voters back to Republicans
— Trump’s recent endorsement flops (Darlene Graham runoff, Mike Lindell, Tennessee) are signs his iron grip on the GOP is loosening (or are they???)
— Jeff Flake’s arc from pure conservative to endorsing a Democrat Jon Ossoff, and the death of the anti-Trump lane in GOP primaries
— Hunter Biden’s Tucker Carlson interview, fathers-and-sons dynamics, and the complicated human side of political families
— Trump’s secret catering-truck plane switch amid Iran threat concerns: security necessity vs. bad optics and press deception
— Speculation on the next White House press secretary (Kari Lake, Spencer Pratt, or Scott Jennings?)
— And MUCH more!
