    Coping With The Stress Of Politics

    The election results are in, and Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States. Responses to the outcome have been mixed. Some Americans are devastated while some are jubilant. An October survey by the American Psychological Association found that 77 percent of U.S. adults report the future of the nation as a significant source of stress in their lives. Some 69 percent said the 2024 election in particular was a source of significant stress. We discuss how we can cope with stress and anxiety related to politics, and how to navigate political divides in our personal lives and as a country. Want to support 1A?

    ICYMI: The Importance Of Trump's Chief Of Staff

    Every presidential term, the chief executive is charged with appointing a cabinet to serve as their most trusted advisors. As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to enter the White House once more, we're learning more about who he plans to appoint to his inner circle. He's already selected one of the most important positions in his cabinet: the chief of staff. Last week he tapped his campaign manager, Susie Wiles. She'll become the first woman chief of staff. We discuss how the choice in chief of staff could change the trajectory of Trump's second term. Want to support 1A? Give to your local public radio station and subscribe to this podcast.

    Election Extra: The Demographics Of The 2024 Election

    As the nation continues to digest the results of the election, data on the decisive victory by Donald Trump is revealing more about how Americans voted and why. For months, Vice President Kamala Harris and now President-elect Donald Trump courted communities they thought would move the needle. But who actually came out in droves and what were the issues that brought them to the ballot box? With most of the ballots counted, we know more about the voting blocs that made a difference. One of the big takeaways is that a growing group of Latino voters threw their support behind Trump. Gender also played a role, with more women voting for Harris and men voting for Trump. We dig into the data. Want to support 1A? Give to your local public radio station and subscribe to this podcast. Have questions? Connect with us.

    What A Potential Republican Electoral Sweep Means For The Country

    The presidential race is called. And the candidates have spoken. That includes Vice President Kamala Harris, who spoke Wednesday afternoon in Washington D.C. after conceding to President-elect Trump. But it's not just the presidency the Republicans managed to sew up this election cycle. The GOP is now in control of the Senate. And as votes are still being counted, it looks like the party has a solid chance of taking the House as well. We discuss what the Republican Trifecta means for the election. Want to support 1A?

    The New Political Landscape Of The United States

    The results are in. Donald Trump will be 47th president of the United States come January. He'll return to the White House as the first president who's been re-elected after being impeached during his first term. He's also been convicted of a felony since his win in 2016. Trump won several key swing states this election, outperforming how the pollsters and pundits projected he'd do in America's electoral battlegrounds. We discuss what the U.S. looks like now that the election is over, and what the results tell us about who we are. Want to support 1A?

    The Election, NOAA, And Project 2025,

    "How about this weather?" There's a reason this line is one of the most famous cliche bits of smalltalk. The weather affects everyone. And most everyone wants to know what the weather's going to be like. That's where forecasts come in. People plan their days and sometimes their futures around what sort of weather they can expect. Sometimes itd can be a life-or-death situation. That's why some are balking at the Project 2025 plan to defund the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. We discuss the science behind forecasts and the potential impact of Project 2025. Want to support 1A? Give to your local public radio station and subscribe to this podcast. Have questions?
