  • Shapiro 2028

    Hey guys, this is Gavin. Good interview with Shapiro. I really would not mind him for 2028. He would be probably my second pick to represent the democrats. I would probably pick Pete over him and that’s it. It’s very close though between Pete and Shapiro. What I like about Shapiro is that one he’s brash and two he’s more of a moderate. He also has energy to which the Democratic Party could use. If he is the nominee in 28 I think he wins. There are some democrats that possibly worry me about 2028... more

    We hope presidents work and not communicate constantly. President Biden communicated sufficiently. Everyone needs to stay off Twitter.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TACO Tuesday in Tehran
Q: So the Supreme Court heard oral arguments today for Watson v. R&C. Could you tell us a bit about how this case reached the Court and what the R&C is arguing?
Leah Litman explains that the case centers on a Mississippi rule allowing counting ballots postmarked by election day if received within five days; the RNC argues federal law forbids counting ballots received after election day, potentially upending long-standing practices. The Supreme Court's decision could affect how late ballots are treated and whether early voting norms survive under federalism and textualist readings.

Q: Joining me today is Illinois Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, who just became the Democratic nominee for Senate. Lieutenant Governor, welcome to Pod Save America.
