    On today's podcast, Chris Cillizz and Matt discuss: — Sen. Jon Ossoff’s comment about Trump and Natalie Harp (the “human printer”), the viral speculation, her unusual rise, the fawning notes, and why her role as gatekeeper of information is more consequential than pure personal gossip. — The debt is out of control.

    Polls Miss Big & Trump’s Grip on GOP Is Loosening. Maybe.

    On today’s podcast conversation, Chris Cillizza and Matt discuss: — Massive polling misses in Michigan and Wisconsin. One reason this happened?: Under-sampling middle-aged Black voters and rural Democrats — Clear evidence that DSA and DSA-aligned candidates are underperforming with Black voters — the same coalition that blocked Bernie Sanders — Why 2026 is likely a referendum on Trump and the economy, but 2028 could see the “socialism” label stick and drive voters back to Republicans — Trump’s recent endorsement flops (Darlene Graham runoff, Mike Lindell, Tennessee) are signs his iron grip on the GOP is loosening (or are they???) — Jeff Flake’s arc from pure conservative to endorsing a Democrat Jon Ossoff, and the death of the anti-Trump lane in GOP primaries — Hunter Biden’s Tucker Carlson interview, fathers-and-sons dynamics, and the complicated human side of political families — Trump’s secret catering-truck plane switch amid Iran threat concerns: security necessity vs. bad optics and press deception — Speculation on the next White House press secretary (Kari Lake, Spencer Pratt, or Scott Jennings?) — And MUCH more!

    Wisconsin Primary SHOCKER: DSA Candidate Who Wanted to Cancel Thanksgiving LOSES

    On today's podcast, Charlie Sykes and Matt discuss: —Why DSA member and failed Wisconsin candidate Francesca Hong was an “absurdly bad candidate” (and why Bernie and AOC stayed away) — How Dems realized they were about to blow a winnable race and hand Wisconsin to an election-denier, so they voted for David Crowley, a candidate who had previously dropped out of the race — Charlie says there are three things every candidate must prove to voters (Hong went 0-for-3) — Matt says 2026 is largely “baked in the cake” as a blue-wave year driven by Trump fatigue, overreach, tariffs, ICE, etc. But! Dems better not take 2028 for granted. — An Independent / Centrist / Unity-Ticket surge has Katie Hobbs (Arizona Democratic governor) picking a Republican running mate, and David Jolly (former Republican Never Trumper congressman) picking a prominent Democrat as running mate in Florida. — Can we trust the polls? — Plus: Trump’s catering-truck Air Force One escape, the independent/unity-ticket surge, Minnesota, Michigan, and more. — And MUCH more!
