Could This Outspoken Arizona Senator Be the Dems' Presidential Nominee in 2028?

Ever since his election to the Senate in 2024, Ruben Gallego, the junior senator from Arizona, has been widely viewed as a major Democratic presidential contender in 2028. But can Gallego keep that momentum going, as Donald Trump's Department of Justice investigates him for alleged campaign finance violations? And after facing scrutiny for his relationship with disgraced Congressman Eric Swalwell? In this exclusive and wide-ranging 'Mehdi Unfiltered' interview, Mehdi speaks to Ruben Gallego about his plans to tax the rich and restrict aid to Israel, the Trump DOJ's investigation into his campaign finances, and going from 'progressive' to 'border hawk.'

Asks the tough questions

Gets great guests and is unafraid to ask the tough questions that listeners need to know. I always learn something new or get great perspective listening to the pod.
Because face palming hasn’t produced better results

Literally interviewing an Iranian congressperson, he can pronoun Iran (eh rahn) correctly but then continually, repeatedly, and incorrectly pronounces Iranian as “I rain ian”. EVEN IN THE FACE OF A CONGRESSPERSON WHO REPEATEDLY PRONOUNCES Iranian CORRECTLY AS “Eh-Ron-ian”. Mehdi’s own name follows this syllable structure and it’s “meh-de”. Everyone should just call this man “May Dee” until he figures it out.
Right Wing Mehdi?

Caught you on the Trigger worms and although you made good points about Biden’s strong economy and Trump’s Jan 6 pardons you came up light in two areas. First you parroted the right wing talking point that Biden only beat Trump because of Covid. Trump’s first term was a disaster long before Covid and Biden built a historic 81 million vote coalition led by black women while also flipping many white men to mop the floor with Trump by 7 million. Also you failed to castigate Mamdani who made a fool of himself promising to be Trump’s worst enemy only to go to the White House to smooch Trump’s butt giving him a photo opp with his lame Ford to City props on the eve of Trump bombing Iran. Mamdani looked like a lackey.
Thoughtful and to the point

Have been following Mehdi for long and it’s great to listen to his analysis unrestrained. He is clever and composed as he cuts through the BS of this moment. Fantastic listening
