Democrats effectively lost the 2024 presidential race a year earlier by rallying behind a deeply unpopular incumbent, New York Times politics reporter Astead Herndon argues in a frank discussion with host Brian Stelter about Joe Biden's legacy. Herndon, who also hosts “The Run-Up” podcast, talks about how Democrats (and some in the media) missed major warning signs about how Biden's age and accomplishments were perceived outside the D.C. bubble—and where the party goes next. 

The Focus Group Podcast is back for a post-election autopsy. We're starting with a deep dive on how Donald Trump's newest voters found Kamala Harris and the Democrats lacking. Astead Herndon, host of The New York Times podcast The Run-Up joins Sarah to write a first draft of how we got here. show notes The Run-Up: The Democrats' Plan to Get Skeptics on Their Side The Run-Up: Kamala Harris on Kamala Harris The Bulwark's Bleak Friday Sale

What lessons should we all be taking from the historic match-up between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris? New York Times political correspondent Astead Herndon says the big takeaway from this election isn't the divide between Republicans and Democrats, it's the divide between political elites and the American public. And he says it may be time to rethink our presumptions about how much voters care about representation.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

It's Casual Friday! Sam speaks with Astead Herndon, national politics reporter at the New York Times and host of "The Run-Up" podcast, to break down a crazy first week post-election.  First, Sam runs through updates on the developing picture of Trump's cabinet, the Stop Terror Financing Act, and CFPB and NLRB action, also touching on establishment responses to RFK's nomination as HHS secretary and his dangerous take on vaccines. Astead Herndon then joins, diving right into the prevalent narrative of two deeply unpopular nominees that dominated the 2024 US presidential election, and why, in refusing to acknowledge their sides' unpopularity (specifically when it came to the Biden Administration), Democrats and Harris completely failed to address the question of change in the eyes of the voters. Expanding on this, Herndon walks through the evolution of this overwhelming backlash to the Biden Administration, in particular, with his shocking decision to run for reelection in the wake of the 2022 midterms, committing the party to a vision of status-quo that voters had (visibly) been growing less and less content with, and gutting any opportunity – via primary or otherwise – to present or shape a new vision for what Democrats, and the Democratic nominee, were fighting for. After diving a little deeper into his research on the undecided, swing state voters that decided this election and making clear the obvious paths Democrats had to win them over, Astead and Sam explore another level of failed messaging on the part of the Democratic party, with rhetoric seeking to separate Trump from his GOP colleagues alongside ceding ground on the issues of crime and immigration allowed Trump to untether himself from the critiques of the former while claiming victory over the latter. Wrapping up, they tackle the particular arrogance that pushed the Democratic Party to ignore the myriad, obvious signs that a Biden-associated candidacy would be a non-starter for voters, and why they need to go back to the table and work on actually addressing voters' concerns. And in the Fun Half: Sam dives a little deeper into some potential impacts of an RFK-led world of public health, watches Donald Trump grapple with the other-worldly annoyance that is Elon Musk, and listens to GOP Senators explain why Matt Gaetz just deserves a chance. Vivek Ramaswamy – unelected bureaucrat – rails against unelected bureaucrats, Mike Huckabee waxes about his commitment to Israel, and the MR Team discusses an already-beginning inversion of US public opinion by party. Sam has a message for the aliens, Leftist Big Pharma Plug gives some insights into insider feelings about a potential Trump/RFK-led world of public health, and Eric Weinstein has – get this – a batsh*t conspiracy, plus, your calls and IMs!

  It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! Emma speaks with Daniel Nichanian, editor-in-chief of Bolts Magazine, to discuss the state of the rest of the downballot races after Tuesday's results. Then, she speaks with Usamah Andrabi, communications director & spokesperson for Justice Democrats, to discuss what's next for Democrats heading into 2025. First, Emma runs through updates on Harris' election concession, the DNC blame game, exit polling, abortion's performance, the lingering House fight, Netanyahu's Trump bootlicking, the Trump Administration, and major wildfires in California, before watching Astead Herndon's astute reflections on Dems' failure to run on anything but the status-quo and abortion. Daniel Nichanian then joins, diving right into the overwhelming rejection of Harris, particularly as an extension of a deeply unpopular Biden Administration, and the major defeats seen by Dem Senate candidates, before walking through the stark contrast between that electoral apathy and the genuine success of progressive referendum and state-level progressive campaigns, briefly touching on the lingering (though unlikely) possibility of Democrats' winning a slim majority in the House. After expanding on the stratification of voting on the Presidency versus down-ballot, Daniel and Emma tackle the major state legislature losses handed to Democrats in Michigan, and Minnesota, and why the future of Congressional campaign fights may lie in the northeast. Usamah Andrabi and Emma then parse through the ongoing failure of Democrats' evident disassociation from the working-class identity that had carried their coalition for decades, refusing to run campaigns that aren't geared around unifying a mythical centrist coalition (that also includes Republicans and Progressives) driven by celebrities and billionaires and grounded in diet-right-wing politics, and emphasizing abstract economic conditions over the material, lived reality with which everyday Americans struggle. They also touch on the major drag of Harris' commitment to the overwhelmingly unpopular status quo under Biden, and unpack the future of a fight for a Democratic party that actually fights for and with the working class. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they unpack their election reflections, tackle how Biden set up Harris to fail, and highlight some major distinctions between Obama's winning campaign and Dems' last few major failures. Joe Scarborough blames cancel culture and identity politics for Harris losing, and the MR Team dives deep into Democrats' persistent failure to set the narrative in mainstream media, plus, your calls and IMs!

Astead Herndon, New York Times national politics reporter, host of their politics podcast "The Run-Up" and CNN political analyst, offers his analysis of Trump's win, after spending months during the campaign talking to voters across the country.

In the end, it wasn't even close. Pollsters told us for months that it was a coin toss, that it could take days to count – before Donald Trump took most of the swing states and the popular vote in a single night. It was a near clean sweep for Republicans, taking back control of the Senate, and with the possibility remaining that they could hold on to the House. With all that plus a conservative-leaning Supreme Court, analysts and party stalwarts say President-elect Trump can now govern unconstrained. His agenda, as stated, includes mass deportations, deregulation, massive new tariffs on all foreign-made goods, and peace through strength abroad – though allies fear a more isolationist America. To react to all this, Christiane speaks with Trump's former ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, who was a supporter of his re-election bid.  Also on today's show: Evelyn Farkas, Executive Director, The McCain Institute; Jan Egeland, Secretary-General, Norwegian Refugee Council; Astead Herndon, National politics reporter, The New York Times  Learn more about your ad choices.

Since Joe Biden dropped out of the race, Vice President Kamala Harris raised hundreds of millions in small dollar donations. Harris has received endorsements from virtually every major Democratic Party leader, and her path to nomination – and command of the dnc campaign war chest – appears inevitable.  But was it the big money DNC donors who really made this possible? The New York Times' Astead Herndon joins Ray Suarez to talk about how Democratic Party donors helped force President Biden out.

Since 2019, our host, Astead Herndon, has been reporting on Kamala Harris — from her campaign for the 2020 Democratic nomination to her time as vice president. Over the years, the same questions have swirled around her.What does she stand for? How does she make decisions? Was she only selected as President Biden's running mate because of her race and gender?Today, Ms. Harris is the presumptive Democratic nominee after Mr. Biden decided to withdraw from the 2024 race. Americans are once again looking at Ms. Harris as their potential president.And on “The Run-Up,” we wanted to play two excerpts from conversations that get at those essential questions. One is with a longtime friend of Ms. Harris. And one is with the vice president herself. On today's episode:Senator Laphonza Butler, Democrat of CaliforniaVice President Kamala Harris

It is day two of the Republican National Convention in Wisconsin, and a sense of dread is descending here across the pond since former President Trump named as his running mate, the ultra-isolationist Senator JD Vance.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 175: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44): Dumboesque Senator Tommy Tuberville has gone on the Newsmax propaganda channel and revealed the obvious: the Speaker, the Senators, Congressmen, (one) Governor and one political jock-sniffer (Ramaswamy) who've stunt-attended Trump's New York trial are there to help Trump evade Judge Merchan's Gag Order. Merchan must bring them into court, put them under oath, and get their testimony as to what Trump demanded that Mike Johnson, Cory Mills, J.D. Vance, Tuberville, Doug Burgum, and Ramaswamy do to help him get around the Judge's order. Then find Trump in contempt because the gag order ALSO precludes him from telling others to attack witnesses or the judge's family for him. Also, thanks for Ramaswamy for the funniest Freudian slip of the trial, in which he accidentally called Trump a "sham politician." MEANWHILE: A day ago I asked The New York Times to give us a "Walter Cronkite" moment and instead it gave us a Judith Miller Moment. Introduced into evidence yesterday? Texts from Michael Cohen to Maggie Haberman from 2018 reading “Big boss just approved my responding to complaint and statement. Please start writing and I will call you soon." What she wrote presented Cohen's (and Trump's) lies about Stormy Daniels and the payoffs as facts. She wrote it the same day and came back and wrote it again the next day. There is a difference between facts (Cohen texted me) and the truth (WHAT Cohen texted me isn't true and I didn't bother to try to find out or even caveat the lies - and Haberman and The Times have to go. As they fired Judith Miller for disseminating George W. Bush's "Saddam WMD" lies so they must fire Haberman - the same Haberman who two days ago dismissed Cohen's testimony as "hearsay" and who is still writing Times leads on this story TODAY. B-BLOCK (40:47) WHY The Times needs to give us a Walter Cronkite Moment. C-BLOCK (64:39) GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 120: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: OK which atrocity do you want to get enraged about first? The fact that yesterday I began by saying “today we begin to find out if we still have a Constitution” and turns out, sorry, I guess we don't – and the three liberal justices are complicit in that? Or, the fact that a partisan hack appointed by Trump managed to turn his nothing-burger investigation of Biden and the returned documents into Christmas-For-The-Fascists by inserting unwarranted, unjustifiable, indefensible opinions about the president's memory into it and THAT'S the headline and oh by the way where is the goddamned Attorney General on this? William Rehnquist's former clerk, Rod Rosenstein's former deputy, and a contributor to The Federalist has enough nerve finding nothing to prosecute but throwing into his report what sounds like a medical opinion about the President's memory but which is really just another Conservative law-breaker whipping out his schlong and putting it on the political scale. But how does the Attorney General let that document leave his department without demanding that irrelevant, unprofessional, indefensible section not be removed? Fire Merrick Garland. Now. Between this and his negligence in waiting two years to appoint a special prosecutor of Trump, he will bear the second most blame if Trump again seizes power. Meanwhile at the Supreme Court, disaster as Elena Kagan posits that enforcing the 14th Amendment gives one state the right to decide who the president will be, and Ketanji Brown Jackson falls for the "President is not really an OFFICER" fabrication. The analyst Elie Mystal thinks the vote could be 9-0 for Trump, in which case Kagan, Brown, and Sonia Sotomayor need to resign from the court.

And the Oakland/Las Vegas A's saga worsens, while invoking the Oakland/Denver A's saga of 1977-80. (27:20) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Sarah Palin is back! And can now see Russian propaganda from her house. If every GOP accusation is actually a confession, Charlie Kirk and Marjorie Taylor Greene's theory of anti-impeachment GOP'ers being blackmailed with pedophilia is SOME confession. And of all the idiotic takes on the Robert Hur investigation of Biden, THE dumbest is by Mr. Astead W. Herndon of The New York Bothsidesist Times and CN-Bothesidesist-N. C-Block (34:32) FRIDAYS WITH THURBER: Since this podcast is one of five nominees for the best politics podcast at the upcoming iHeart Podcast Awards, it's fitting to read Thurber's great story of what happened when a rookie went on radio: "How To Relax While Broadcasting."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The UN Secretary-General today called for an unconditional release of all the hostages, but also pleaded for Palestinians to be seen as separate from Hamas. The IDF gave remaining Gaza City residents five hours to evacuate south, but as Salma Abdelaziz reports, the destruction caused by Israeli bombing means travel is slow and dangerous.  Also on today's show: David Miliband, CEO and President, International Rescue Committee / Former UK Foreign Secretary; Daniel Kurtzer, Former US Ambassador to Israel; Astead Herndon, National Political Reporter, The New York Times  Learn more about your ad choices.
