Podcasts about Democratic Party

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:05pm- On Wednesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders hilariously hijacked a press conference held by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. One listener says Sanders has been “emboldened” by socialist Zohran Mamdani's win in New York City. 5:30pm- Are all Trump voters also Republican voters? One caller suggests that Trump voters are not emotionally invested in the rest of the party—and we shouldn't ever expect them to show up for an election where President Trump's name isn't on the ballot. 5:45pm- Was yesterday the worst polling disaster since 2016? 5:50pm- Following Zohran Mamdani's election win, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez said the “Democratic Party cannot last much longer by denying the future” of democratic-socialism.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (11/05/2025): 3:05pm- On Tuesday night, Democrat Mikie Sherrill defeated Republican Jack Ciattarelli in their New Jersey gubernatorial race. With 95% of the vote reported, Sherrill leads by 13%—56.2 to 43.2%. Prior to election day, most pollsters—including Trafalgar—published data showing the race would be significantly closer. What happened? Is NJ, simply put, just a blue state? Did President Donald Trump's absence from the ticket depress Republican turnout? 3:30pm-Listeners call into the show and voice their frustrations with last night's results. One caller notes that Democrats managed to get 60% of their voters to the polls—but Republicans managed a mere 54%. Is New Jersey now east coast California, as one listener suggests? 3:40pm- Rich continues to take calls—with a listener explaining that she knew NJ was progressive, but she had no idea the state was THIS deep blue. Others said they are still “stunned” by the results. Plus, people are disappointed that Larry Krasner won another term as district attorney of Philadelphia. What were voters thinking? 4:05pm- Rich keeps the phone lines open. Was candidate quality an issue? Unlikely. Jack Ciattarelli won all 21 counties across the state of New Jersey during the Republican primary. Why did 30% of Republican voters who cast their ballots for Trump in 2024 not show up? 4:10pm- Did the Trump administration's decision to halt federal funding for the Gateway Tunnel project between New Jersey and New York help Mikie Sherrill? Should President Trump have held an in-person rally for Ciattarelli in NJ? Rich notes, if we don't fix the problem now—we're in major trouble heading into the 2026 midterm elections. 4:25pm- A listener points out that young female voters overwhelmingly voted for Mikie Sherrill. Can Republicans reverse this trend? 4:30pm- First, the GOP had to deal with the “Never Trumpers”—but now the Republican Party's biggest problem appears to be the “Only Trumpers,” voters who will only show up to vote if President Donald Trump himself is on the ballot. 5:05pm- On Wednesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders hilariously hijacked a press conference held by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. One listener says Sanders has been “emboldened” by socialist Zohran Mamdani's win in New York City. 5:30pm- Are all Trump voters also Republican voters? One caller suggests that Trump voters are not emotionally invested in the rest of the party—and we shouldn't ever expect them to show up for an election where President Trump's name isn't on the ballot. 5:45pm- Was yesterday the worst polling disaster since 2016? 5:50pm- Following Zohran Mamdani's election win, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez said the “Democratic Party cannot last much longer by denying the future” of democratic-socialism. 6:05pm- Rich celebrates his 11th year on 1210 WPHT! 6:10pm- Linda Kerns—Attorney & Pennsylvania Election Integrity Counsel for the Republican National Committee and Donald Trump—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap Election Day. Plus, she attempts to cheer up Rich! 6:15pm- In her victory speech, New Jersey governor-elect Mikie Sherrill baselessly accused President Trump of “running a worldwide extortion racket.” 6:30pm- Matt Rooney—Founder of SaveJersey.com, State Director of the America First Policy Institute of New Jersey, & host of The Matt Rooney Show on 1210 WPHT (Saturday's 7pm to 10pm)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap Election Day in NJ. Will the Garden State ever become a truly “purple” state? Despite the blowout loss, perhaps there is still reason for optimism long-term.

The New Yorker staff writer Benjamin Wallace-Wells joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss Democrats' sweeping victories in the first major elections of Donald Trump's second term. They talk about what the results—from Zohran Mamdani's record-turnout win in New York City to victories in the Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial races—reveal about Trump's weakening hold on voters and a generational shift inside the Democratic Party. They also explore how a focus on affordability and economic anxiety fuelled Democrats' success, and how these outcomes may shape the strategies of both parties heading into next year's midterms. This week's reading: “A Next-Generation Victory for Democrats,” by Benjamin Wallace-Wells “What the Democrats' Good Night Means for 2026 and Beyond,” by Isaac Chotiner “California Strikes Back in the Redistricting War,” by Jon Allsop “The Mamdani Era Begins,” by Eric Lach “The N.Y.C.

In this special episode of Israel Undiplomatic, Mark Regev and Ruthie Blum sit down with John Podhoretz, editor-in-chief of Commentary, to unpack what Zohran Mamdani's election as New York City mayor signals for American Jewry, Israel and U.S. politics. They explore the “Corbynization” of the Democratic Party, the normalization of anti-Zionism in America's most Jewish city and how bipartisan support for Israel is fraying, while warning that rising populist currents on both left and right could reshape U.S.–Israel relations. A timely, urgent conversation on what comes next for New York, American Jews and Israel.

Does Zohran Mamdani's win mean a new dawn for the Democratic Party? Not exactly, Ross Douthat argues. In this mini-episode of “Interesting Times,” Ross explains that the New York mayor's office has historically been a “springboard to nowhere,” rather than a precursor for national politics.(A full transcript of this episode is available on the Times website.)Thoughts?

A new survey finds that moderately religious Americans are the most likely to say that they see dead people. Which raises a question—why are the non-religious and the very religious less likely to report encounters with the departed? New York Times columnist Ezra Klein says that by over-emphasizing inclusivity, the Democratic Party has ironically become less inclusive. And Ryan Burge looks at the numbers behind the party's growing "God problem." Will the Democrats ever figure out how to compete against MAGA? New Testament scholar N.T. Wright is back to discuss his latest book, "The Vision of Ephesians." He tells Skye that the modern church has overemphasized the gospel importance of going to heaven and underemphasized the gospel importance of church unity.

Story 1: Last night's sweeping Democratic victory wasn't a surprise, but it is still worth talking about. Support for New York socialist Zohran Mamdani isn't just a local trend anymore as it's spreading through the Democratic Party like wildfire. Will breaks down why this wave of socialism is resonating with voters, what's fueling it, and the defining choice America will soon face. Story 2: Host of ‘Making the Argument' and Virginia House Delegate Nick Freitas joins Will to unpack what Mamdani's rise really says about America. They dive into how education, culture, and decades of Democratic policies have alienated young men, while pulling young women further Left than ever before.

Story 3: Comedian and Host of ‘The Boyscast' & ‘Low Value Mail' Danny Polishchuk sits down with Will to share his concerns about Mamdani's victory, explaining where the quaint, simple life image of communist countries portrayed in media differs from reality. Danny and Will also discuss whether Mamdani's victory is genuine embrace of socialism or simply a middle finger to President Trump.   Subscribe to ‘Will Cain Country' on YouTube here: ⁠⁠⁠Watch Will Cain Country!⁠ Follow ‘Will Cain Country' on X (⁠@willcainshow⁠), Instagram (⁠@willcainshow⁠), TikTok (⁠@willcainshow⁠), and Facebook (⁠@willcainnews⁠) Follow Will on X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@WillCain Learn more about your ad choices.

Sami and Paul also focus on the historic victories by two Democrat women vets for Governor: Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger in Virginia, the failures of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, the impact of independent voters, and two things that are really good to end a chaotic time.  Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

Well, what a night that was.The 2025 off-year election came and went, and I don't think anybody on the Republican side was quite ready for how hard it hit. I expected Virginia to go blue — I didn't expect it to be a total decimation. Abigail Spanberger didn't just win, she boat-raced it, besting Winsome Earle-Seares by a whopping 14 points. That momentum was even enough to carry Jay Jones, dogged by scandal after scandal, to a smaller (but no less impressive) six-point win. That's despite having an opponent with a compelling ad campaign and a story that, in a different climate, might have turned heads. It didn't matter. The wave swallows all.What stands out to me the most is how broad this Democratic surge really was. In New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill handed Jack Ciattarelli a 13-point loss, completely rewriting the expectations I had going in. I thought if Republicans were going to find any traction, it would be in the Garden State. It wasn't. In Latino-heavy areas like Passaic, New Jersey — areas that just barely swung for Trump in 2024 after 2010s results in the D+50 space — saw a reversion back to near-2020 Democratic margins. Republicans had a shot to build a new working-class coalition in those towns, and right now, it looks like they blew it.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The real story of the night, though, was New York City. Zohran Mamdani didn't just win. He crushed. He did it with style, focus, and an eye for narrative. His campaign was slick, and his messaging was clear. He connected with voters who felt left behind — people priced out of housing, worried about jobs, unsure about their future. Mamdani was speaking directly to them. He predicted headlines, embraced viral moments, and even handled scrutiny around some of the more potentially-controversial moments of his name with grace and wit. His vote totals show him cracking 50 percent, a number that Cuomo and Sliwa together couldn't touch. It's an out-and-out victory for a campaign that, initially, seemed like a pipe dream for the left.What we're seeing now is a Democratic Party that knows how to win and a Republican Party still figuring out how to respond. And with the 2026 midterms now less than a year away, it's only going to get crazier.Chapters00:00 - Intro01:30 - Virginia04:50 - New Jersery09:37 - Prop 50 in California11:36 - Mamdani in NYC18:51 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Socialism is becoming front and center in the United States. The Democratic Party is vying with candidates from the Democratic Socialists of America within its ranks. And Republicans are now planning to use this as a key talking point in the coming midterm campaigns.Also, in other news, New York City just held a very contentious mayoral election—and this became a national focus, mainly over the Democratic candidates. It could signal whether the party leans toward more centrist platforms, or whether it goes further left with candidates linked to Democratic Socialists of America.We'll discuss these topics and others in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

In this charged episode, Tara and Lee break down the stunning victory speech of Zoran Mamdani — the self-declared democratic socialist who just became the face of New York's political future. From quoting Eugene Debs to celebrating ties with open communists, the mask of moderation has officially slipped. The hosts unpack how Mamdani's win signals a deeper cultural shift, why Democrats are too afraid to denounce it, and how New York has become what they call “post-American territory.” They connect the dots between socialism's familiar promises and its historical consequences — from speech suppression to economic collapse — and ask the burning question: can America recognize itself when its greatest city no longer does? When the socialist mask slips, the truth about power is revealed. Zoran Mamdani, socialism, New York politics, post-American territory, AOC, Hassan Piker, Eugene Debs, Bill Maher, Kathy Hochul, Trump trial, communism, Democratic Party shift, political analysis, conservative commentary, cultural divide Tara and Lee open with the chilling details of Zoran Mamdani's victory speech — his unapologetic embrace of socialism and invocation of Eugene Debs, the founder of the socialist party. They argue that New York's political and cultural transformation represents the first major “post-American” territory, where traditional values and freedoms are fading fast. As clips roll from Mamdani's campaign allies like podcaster Hassan Piker and Governor Kathy Hochul, the hosts expose how openly socialist and even pro-Soviet sentiments have gone mainstream inside Democratic ranks. The conversation ties these developments to Donald Trump's conviction in New York, portraying the state as a testing ground for political show trials and ideological radicalism. By the end, Tara and Lee warn that what's unfolding in New York won't stay there — the socialist “experiment” is spreading, and unless Republicans learn to counter it effectively, America could be watching the dawn of its own decline.

Michael Smerconish breaks down the Democrats' big question after Election Day: Which path forward makes the most sense — the moderate model of Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill, or the progressive momentum behind Zohran Mamdani?

As of Nov. 3, President Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating of his second term at 37%. This is usually a good sign for the party out of power, but disapproval in Trump isn't the whole picture. The Democratic Party is having a hard time translating criticism into support. Through July, Republicans have gained 9 times as many new registered voters than Democrats since the November 2024 election.

In this episode of "Night Owls," hosts John Ellis and Joe Klein discuss the recent election results, highlighting the Democratic Party's significant victories across various states, including Georgia and Pennsylvania. They explore the implications of these results on the political landscape, particularly focusing on the impact of cultural and economic issues. The conversation delves into the role of Donald Trump in the elections, the dynamics within the Republican Party, and the potential future of the Democratic Party. The hosts also touch on the challenges faced by newly elected officials, such as Zohran Mamdani in New York, and the broader implications for upcoming elections.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 4, 2025. 0:30 We break down the political standoff that has brought Washington to a halt — and threatens to ground the nation’s air travel. With a government shutdown dragging on, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warns of nationwide flight chaos. From TSA staffing shortages to potential economic fallout, Democratic leaders are playing a dangerous game with American livelihoods and national security. 9:30 Plus we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Former Vice President Dick Cheney passed away this week at the age of 84. It's election day for several states across the country. In New York City, communist anti-semite Zohran Mamdani is expected to win. The Federal Government shutdown has now passed 35 days, breaking all previous government shutdown records. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

When the state promises to take care of everything, everyone ends up poorer, less free, and more dependent. 16:00 The American Mamas tackle the latest protest trend from the Left—a planned weeklong shopping strike meant to hurt Donald Trump’s economy. The Mamas aren’t buying it. They unpack why the protest makes zero economic sense — and how, in trying to “crash” the Trump economy, participants would only end up hurting small businesses and their own paychecks. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We take a look at the growing power struggle inside the Democratic Party — and the rise of New York socialist Zohran Mamdani. As polls suggest Mamdani’s likely win, this election could mark a political coup from within, pushing Democrats further left than ever before — a seismic shift not seen since George McGovern’s 1972 transformation attempt. 26:00 We Dig Deep into the early results of President Trump’s controversial decision to deploy the National Guard in Washington, D.C. — and the numbers speak for themselves. From a 60% drop in murders to carjackings down 70%, new reports show dramatic crime reductions since the launch of Trump’s “D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force.” The data proves that restoring order and accountability works — even as Democrats in cities like Chicago and Portland continue to fight Trump’s authority in court. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We take a hard look at the complex legacy of former Vice President Dick Cheney — a man once considered one of the most influential figures in American foreign policy. We revisit the Iraq War and the long-debated question of whether the Bush administration knowingly exaggerated claims about weapons of mass destruction. And we look at Dick Cheney's later years—Liz Cheney’s role on the January 6th Committee to his own endorsement of Kamala Harris. 36:00 A new study out in Australia says hope may be the most powerful thing in your life, and that's a Bright Spot. The study from the Good News Network found hopeful individuals experience better health, stronger relationships, and greater success in education and work. The research shows that people who nurture hope are not only more resilient but also recover faster from setbacks and resist the pull of negativity. 40:00 We discuss a striking ripple effect of the “defund the police” movement—citizens increasingly turning to self-protection products. In China manufacturers are producing anti-stab or “urban protection wear” clothing, such as coats, shirts, and vests designed to resist knife attacks. Americans are feeling less safe and they're saying, "Whoa!" 41:30 And we end today's show with a story out of Lafayette, Louisiana. Teurlings Catholic High School celebrated a historic win against St. Thomas Moore on the football field. But what made the news was what happened after the game.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (11/03/2025): 3:05pm- Polling data suggests that enthusiasm for Jack Ciattarelli's campaign to be the next governor of New Jersey is at a whopping 91%! Is there similar enthusiasm for Mikie Sherrill? It doesn't seem like it. Over the weekend, former President Barack Obama attended a campaign rally for Sherrill drawing only 3,000 people. Rich notes that a comparable number of Ciattarelli supporters gathered at the Wildwood boardwalk last month—even though there wasn't a former president boosting turnout. 3:30pm- KC Crosbie—Co-Chair of the Republican National Committee—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to preview Election Day in New Jersey. Crosbie believes that if Republican voters get out and vote, Jack Ciattarelli will be the next governor of NJ. 3:40pm- During a discussion with progressive podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen, Bill Maher said of Zohran Mamdani's likely mayoral win: "He definitely has the power and influence to elect JD Vance, or whoever is the Republican candidate next time. It is a walking commercial for the Republican Party, nationally." 3:50pm- New York Governor Kathy Hochul suggested that Zohran Mamdani cannot fund his agenda because she won't agree to massive tax increases. 4:00pm- Congressman Dan Meuser—Representative for Pennsylvania's 9th Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show and reacts to President Donald Trump's big endorsement on Truth Social. Trump wrote: “Congressman Dan Meuser is an America First Patriot who is doing an incredible job representing Pennsylvania's 9th Congressional District! A very successful Businessman, former Secretary of Revenue of Pennsylvania, and now, as U.S. Congressman, Dan has strongly served his Community with a career “loaded up” with accolades and wins. In Congress, he is working hard to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Champion American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our now very Secure Border, SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Strengthen our Military/Veterans, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment. Dan Meuser has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!” Congressman Meuser also discusses his experience working alongside Mikie Sherill in the House of Representatives—she's no moderate: “I don't really associate with her that much because—what's the point? It's the extremism of the left.” 4:30pm- While appearing on CNN, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was asked if Zohran Mamdani is the future of the Democratic Party? Jeffries said no—and then quickly changed the subject. 5:05pm- State Senator Mike Testa—Republican Whip & Representing District 1 (Atlantic, Cape May, and Cumberland Counties) in the New Jersey State Senate—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to preview Election Day in NJ. 5:30pm- Kamala Harris's book tour is still unfolding—and it's not going particularly well. She's constantly criticizing Joe Biden, accusing him of making the 2024 election all about himself, and cursing up a storm! Is she attempting to be authentic and likable? It seems to be failing. 6:00pm- California Governor Gavin Newsom continues to defend Joe Biden's performance as president, George Clooney defends his outsized role in replacing Biden as the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate, and former CIA Director John Brennan loses his mind after being confronted about his inaccurate claim that the Hunter Biden laptop was merely Russian disinformation. 6:15pm- Tonight, President Donald Trump is holding a “tele-rally” for Jack Ciattarelli. 6:30pm Penn State Basketball!

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:00pm- Congressman Dan Meuser—Representative for Pennsylvania's 9th Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show and reacts to President Donald Trump's big endorsement on Truth Social. Trump wrote: “Congressman Dan Meuser is an America First Patriot who is doing an incredible job representing Pennsylvania's 9th Congressional District!

How did the election go, people of the future? Donald's anti-semitic Election Day post about Mamdani. Donald pledges to investigate California's Prop 50 vote. Good day and welcome to Day 35 of the MAGA government shutdown. Airports are a nightmare right now. Donald is defying the court order to resume partial SNAP benefits. Mike Johnson on the filibuster. The horrendous 60 Minutes interview. Donald knows nothing about healthcare or the ACA. Was his right eye swollen? Donald thinks China and Russia are exploding nuclear warheads. They're not. Why nuclear testing is a horrible idea. Dick Cheney died. No Kings is bigger than MAGA. No Kings is bigger than MAGA.

'The View' co-hosts weigh in as Americans head to the polls in city and state elections that could sway the corridors of power after Pres. Trump gave his unwanted support to New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo. Rep.

Then, Rep. Greene weighs in on America's involvement in foreign wars and why she believes the Epstein files haven't been released: "It seems like very rich and powerful men are being protected." Rep. Greene predicts Election Day 2025 will be "a referendum on the Democratic Party" and encourages House Speaker Mike Johnson to visit the show. Learn more about your ad choices.

I've seen my fair share of shutdowns over the years. Loud ones, quiet ones, dumb ones, strategic ones. But this one? This is just sad.I spent the day on Capitol Hill talking to anyone who would meet with me, bouncing between offices, looking to understand how close we are to any kind of resolution, and the mood is absolutely lifeless. Nobody knows what they want, and nobody's talking to each other. The word I keep hearing is “aimless,” and that's exactly what it feels like to be here.I had the opportunity to attend Speaker Mike Johnson's press conference earlier today, and what stuck out to me was just how defensive it was. Republicans seem genuinely irritated that Democrats have managed to set the tone on this one, especially with their own base. Johnson spent most of his time pushing back against “false narratives,” but in doing so, he basically confirmed that the narratives are working. And I'll be honest — if I were him, I don't know that I would've spent that much time sounding frustrated.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.What did break through, though, was something more interesting. A change in who the Republicans are pointing fingers at. It used to be Schumer and AOC. But now, it's Zohran Mamdani, and this — Election Eve 2025 — was the day it shifted. You're going to hear his name a lot more from Republicans. According to them, he's now the face of the Democratic Party, at least the one pushing for this shutdown. That's a big change, and it tells you where they think the real energy on the left is coming from.This all traces back to March, when Schumer passed a clean CR and got torched for it by the left flank. The idea now is that Schumer and Jeffries are shutting things down not because they want to, but because they're scared of losing their jobs. That's the same vibe I got from conversations on the Hill — they're being pushed around, and they don't have the political juice to stop it.Like I said… I've seen dumb shutdowns before. But even dumb ones usually make sense if you squint. This one doesn't. It's got no internal logic. The Democrats don't want to own it. The Republicans are scared of their shadows. The base isn't fully convinced by either side. And while everyone blames everyone else, regular folks — the people running out of ways to pay for groceries, unsure of whether they can afford insurance next year — are the ones dealing with the fallout.

President Trump returns to Washington D.C. after a week of international travel and a weekend at his resort in Florida while the government shutdown enters its second month.

And New York City voters head to the polls tomorrow in a heated mayoral race between Zohran Mamdani and former Governor Andrew Cuomo that could shape the future of the Democratic Party.Want more comprehensive analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun? Subscribe to the Up First newsletter.Today's episode of Up First was edited by Krishnadev Calamur, Russell Lewis, Andrea de Leon, Mohamad ElBardicy and Martha Ann Overland.It was produced by Ziad Buchh, Nia Dumas and Christopher ThomasWe get engineering support from Stacey Abbott.
