Matter of Opinion: A Look at the 2024 G.O.P. Primary Field The Ezra Klein Show

    • Society & Culture

Today we’re bringing you an episode from the latest New York Times Opinion podcast, “Matter of Opinion.” It’s a chat show, hosted by my colleagues Michelle Cottle, Ross Douthat, Carlos Lozada and Lydia Polgreen. Each week, they discuss an issue in the news, the culture or their own work and try to make sense of what is a weird and fascinating time to be alive.

In this episode, the hosts take a tour of the 2024 Republican primary field to understand what it takes to survive in the present-day Republican ecosystem — and maybe even beat the Trump in the room.

(Note: This episode was recorded on May 18, the week before Ron DeSantis announced his candidacy.)
