    The Trump Voters Who Are Sick of Trump (Ep. 2)

    The Trump Voters Who Are Sick of Trump (Ep. 2)

    Jon is joined by longtime pollster Sarah Longwell and former Republican strategist Tim Miller to get inside the minds of two-time Trump voters who are no longer sure if they’ll vote for him again. What’s changed? Well, January 6th, a few criminal trials, and some obviously bogus claims that the election was stolen. But is that enough to get them over the line for Joe Biden? Jon, Tim, and Sarah listen to a focus group tape of these voters to figure out how they’re leaning in 2024 and then Ben Wikler, Chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, joins to help teach you how to persuade the Biden-curious Trump voter in your life.

Debating Gaza problem with Mehdi Hasan

I miss hearing or seeing Mehdi Hasan on MSNBC. Thanks for having him on Pod Save America. As a philosophy student & therefore one who debates, I observe Hasan's ability to argue a point as stunning. His understanding of the Middle East is extensive. However, two points are rarely made in the media concerning Israel, which is to say Palestine, & president Biden. The IDF supports Israelites, that is colonists, when they trespass on Palestinian lands. Ancient olive groves are chopped down or uprooted, orange groves & farm animals are stolen or destroyed, homes destroyed or attacked. It is a fact that Biden identified himself as "Zionist" with joy & pride. Finding him saying it is easily found on the internet via YouTube.

Great podcast

I have been listening for many years. Love the show! Would like Jon and Tommy to be less dismissive of Lovett’s opinion.
