    Democrats try to brand themselves as fighters in 2025 primaries

    This is our Democratic primary fight club edition: we had an actual primary election in New Jersey for governor; we have one coming up in Virginia for a House seat; and there’s drama in the New York governor's race. All of this is taking place against the backdrop of Democrats becoming more and more alarmed about the Trump administration’s treatment of its political opponents. So we guess the first rule of Democratic primary fight club is: DO TALK ABOUT the Democratic party fight club on a podcast. Let's dive in with Carrie Dann, Matthew Klein and Erin Covey. And be sure to stick around for stories we're obsessed with.

  2. The Odd Years: Data Analytics Was Supposed To Be How Dems Dominated Politics. That Didn't Happen in 2024.

    The Odd Years: Data Analytics Was Supposed To Be How Dems Dominated Politics. That Didn't Happen in 2024.

    Today in your Editors Roundtable feed, here's a show we think you'll be very interested in listening to from our other podcast, The Odd Years. If you don't follow The Odd Years, find us on Apple so don't you miss more conversations like this one with Amy Walter and her fantastic line-up of guests. ************* Back in the 2012 cycle, Chauncey McLean was a young staffer on the Obama campaign working in the newly developing field of data analytics. Six years later, McLean put those data science skills - and the ones he developed while working in the private sector testing ads for commercial products - to work as head of the Democratic super PAC, Future Forward. Most outside super PACs like these do an extensive amount of polling and survey work and bring in multiple outside advisers to help manage and produce campaign ads and other material. What makes Future Forward unique is the tremendous amount of survey data and ad testing that they do. Its team of data scientists surveyed millions of voters and tested thousands of ads with the goal of finding and airing the ads that moved the needle the most with the voters. During 2024, the group poured about $800 million dollars into ads that supported first Joe Biden and then Kamala Harris' campaign for president. At the end of the day, the Trump campaign's advertising and media strategy was more successful, particularly his ability to connect with younger men via social media platforms like podcasts and YouTube. As the Democratic party struggles to find its footing, we wanted to talk to Chauncey McLean about what he learned from Harris' loss and how Democratic groups like his are adapting to this fractured media environment going forward. We recorded the conversation on Wednesday, March 19th. To learn more about The Cook Political Report go to: www.cookpolitical.com/subscribe.
