Podcasts about democratic primaries

These are candidates who won Democratic primaries. Eight or ten of them now, several against sitting incumbents. Angie Nixon is running the same play everywhere it works: populism and affordability, gas and groceries and rent and utility bills. Hawk's read is that elected Democrats spent fifteen or twenty years answering to donors, AIPAC, and the DNC instead of their own voters, and this is what that produces. Hasan Piker, who Moskowitz named directly, responded by suggesting he log off and focus on beating the Republican. Hawk lays out Moskowitz's actual record on Israel and Iran, including opposing conditions on military aid and dismissing a war powers resolution. And then the part nobody wants to hold at once: Moskowitz is still the only Democrat likely to win a Trump plus nine seat, and Democrats need the House.

Thaddeus McCotter analyzes the recent Michigan Democratic primary, where Dr. Abdul El-Sayed narrowly defeated the establishment candidate, Haley Stevens. El-Sayed, an "anti-establishment" fighter endorsed by Bernie Sanders, capitalized on unhappiness within the Democratic base, particularly in counties with large young populations like Washtenaw and Kent. While El-Sayed distances himself from the "Socialist" label, he supports extensive economic regulation and holds anti-Israel sentiments popular in Ann Arbor. McCotter notes that the Democratic establishment is now rallying around El-Sayed to preserve their Senate majority, hoping a "common enemy" in Donald Trump will bridge internal divides. Republican candidate Mike Rogers, a former Intelligence Committee chair, plans to counter El-Sayed by focusing on manufacturing, border security, and the risks of "Medicare for All" to seniors. McCotter warns that Trump's messaging on the "Iran war" and rising inflation remains a significant hurdle for Republican candidates in the general election. (6)

Florida state Rep. Angie Nixon defeated Alex Vindman in a major Democratic U.S. Senate primary upset, winning nearly 56% of the vote despite being heavily outraised. Her victory made her the first DSA member to win a major-party nomination for statewide office in Florida.

Four stories. Former State Department official Matt Bartlett joined Jonathan Lemire on Morning Joe and was candid about Republican midterm prospects and the absence of a message beyond one bill. Charlamagne tha God gave Hakeem Jeffries a Donkey of the Day over his answer on Medicare for All, a bill Jeffries cosponsored from 2013 onward before becoming leader. Hawk connects that to why DSA backed candidates keep winning primaries: they campaign on what they are for. Andy Beshear, twice elected in a red state, hit the economy, the Iran war, and corruption, then called for big ideas. Also: Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts Mike Caruso has been arrested and charged.

In the one-hundred-and-ninety-ninth episode, we look at the Appeal to Pity fallacy, starting with felling sorry for himself about the IRS, feigning empathy for the families of people killed by immigrants, and pretending he felt sorry for J6ers and their uncomfortable prison cells.In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, and Nigel Farage all claiming they were treated harshly by the 'establishment'.In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Chicago, Tangled, Spongebob, and The Amazing World of Gumball.Jim and Mark go head-to-head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes was made up by Jim.Then we talk about Abdul El Sayed winning the Democratic Primary for Michigan Senator.And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft199One of our favourite young listeners, Scarlett Garrett (One Eyed Nick's daughter), has signed up to travel to Cambodia in 2028 to do volunteer work helping local communities and has just started her fundraising for her trip.

Pair that with Jon Stewart's interview of John Fetterman, where Stewart calmly walked him to the admission that support for Israel is the line. Agreement on nearly everything else does not matter if a Democrat breaks on that one. Meanwhile Zohran Mamdani ran on affordability and taxing the rich and won. That is the pattern across these races, and it keeps getting explained as anything other than candidates listening to voters. Then Wisconsin. Francesca Hong lost a very close primary to David Crowley, who would be the first Black governor in the state's history. Hawk's frustration is with the response already appearing in comments, that the winner now has to earn a vote in November. The primary was that. Whoever the nominee is, the alternative in Wisconsin and in Texas is the Republican.

Tony Castañeda is back as host of the Thursday edition of the 8 O'Clock Buzz.  He's joined by a fired-up Matt Rothschild, former Executive Director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, and Charley Preusser, editor of the Crawford County Independent, to talk about the recent Democratic primary in Wisconsin. Tony's guests think there was unfair meddling by the Democratic Party establishment with the defeat of Francesca Hong in the governor's race and Emily Berge in Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District.  But Hong herself seems committed to helping fellow Democrats in the upcoming election Francesca's grass-roots campaign and message of expanded healthcare for all, a moratorium on data centers, breaking up big Ag, and an economic justice bill of rights was appealing to voters across the state.  And her graciousness in an excruciatingly close defeat is to be admired.  Hopefully David Crowley, the winning Democratic candidate, has taken notes.  The most surprising result of the primary election wasn't the razor-thin governor's race, but that fact that hundreds of thousands of voters seem to think that Trump acolyte, Tom Tiffany, is qualified to be the next governor of Wisconsin.  Now that's scary.

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley has won the Democratic primary for governor in Wisconsin, narrowly defeating Madison Representative Francesca Hong.

Wisconsin, like Minnesota, was making sense of primary election results Wednesday. The race for governor of that state has received particular attention nationwide. It's one of several races across the country where progressive or democratic socialist candidates have faced off against moderate Democrats. In this case, the moderate won. David Crowley narrowly defeated Francesca Hong. Hong had been leading in polls and Crowley had previously suspended his campaign before rejoining the race. Now, he'll face Republican U.S. Representative Tom Tiffany in the November midterm. PBS Wisconsin senior political reporter Zac Schultz recently joined Minnesota Now to break down a eventful campaign season that led up to the primary. He came back to talk about what happened and what comes next heading into the midterms.

A moderate Democrat beats a progressive in Wisconsin's primary for governor. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.

Janoo, a 38-year-old economist who previously worked internationally for the United Nations, entered the race in March with virtually no name recognition. She will face incumbent Gov. Phil Scott as he seeks a sixth term in the general election.

This started in April, when Piker appeared at a campaign event with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and El-Sayed climbed in the polls. Third Way then organized a denunciation with members of Congress. Zohran Mamdani ran on free buses, cheaper housing, childcare, groceries, and taxing the rich, and most New York Democrats still would not endorse him. Hawk connects that to Kirsten Gillibrand's language about Mamdani after the primary. Third Way now plans 15 million dollars against Democrats who have already won their primaries. Not against Republicans.

Abdul El-Sayed has won the Democratic primary for Michigan's U.S. Senate race, putting his historic campaign one step closer to the general election. If elected, El-Sayed would become the first Muslim senator ever elected to the United States Senate.

What does Abdul El-Sayed's Democratic primary victory mean for Michigan—and for the battle for control of the U.S. Senate? In this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor is joined by TheMidwesterner.news founder Kyle Olson for an in-depth discussion of Abdul El-Sayed's political career, his tenure leading Wayne County's health department, his 2026 Senate campaign, and the issues they argue voters should examine before November. The conversation explores El-Sayed's campaign messaging, his political alliances, his previous gubernatorial run, and broader questions about the direction of the Democratic Party in Michigan. Tudor and Kyle also discuss the growing influence of democratic socialist candidates, foreign policy debates surrounding Israel and the Middle East, campaign strategy heading into the general election, and what they believe is at stake in one of the nation's most closely watched Senate races. Whether you're following Michigan politics, the 2026 Senate elections, or the national political landscape, this episode offers a detailed conservative perspective on one of the year's biggest races.

Chuck Todd and Chris Cillizza burn the midnight oil for a rare Wednesday drop, breaking down a Michigan Senate primary that became the most expensive Democratic Senate primary contest in U.S. history and a genuine proxy war over the party's future. With Abdul El-Sayed leading Haley Stevens by a far narrower margin than the polling suggested, the guys unpack why Michigan is so hard to poll, why Black voters are routinely under-sampled in primary surveys, and what it says that the Whitmer-and-labor-backed machine kept this close — a double-digit El-Sayed win, Chuck argues, would have been a genuine indictment of the establishment. They then game out the general: why Republicans will now dump money into Michigan they'd never have spent against Stevens, why an Islamophobic campaign against El-Sayed could backfire spectacularly, and why the stakes for the progressive movement in 2028 are enormous either way. Plus: how the county-by-county map becomes a strategic document for every 2028 campaign now that Michigan sits in the early window. From there they widen the lens to the sleeper races nobody's watching — Kansas, where megachurch pastor Adam Hamilton emerged from a crowded Democratic field and will face Republican incumbent Roger Marshall in November, plus South Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa, where tariffs, deportations, and the ag economy have made supposedly safe seats interesting. They dig into the ugly Max Miller saga in Ohio ahead of the ballot deadline, why Trump's refusal to push him out is grimly consistent, and the human cost to a family caught in the middle. Then it's a bracing riff on whether Trump actually wants any Republican not named Trump to win in 2028, bearish takes on Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris, a Chuck rant about why abolishing the Senate and packing the Court is magical thinking, and a closing lament about the Nats' fire sale.

Then listeners join the debate, offering alternatives including Maryland, Ohio, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina and Kentucky—and raising one major problem with Nevada that could change the calculation.

Circle August 4th on your calendar: Michigan is now the number one marquee primary matchup I'm watching. Mallory McMorrow is out of the race as of a couple of weeks ago, and what's left is a head-to-head contest between the Democratic establishment — or at least what's left of it — and the insurgent progressive movement. Yes, friends, it's Haley Stevens versus Abdul El-Sayed, and it's set to be a knockout fight.This really represents the first live test for the current Democratic Party. Can the progressive movement, with a more charismatic candidate and a high-energy, extraordinarily competent campaign, expand its coalition enough to win statewide? Or will it do what it's done in the past — hit a ceiling when the opposition consolidates?There's only one new clean head-to-head test: a Tavern Research survey from July 6th through July 7th of 2,211 likely Democratic primary voters. It found Haley Stevens at 42%, El-Sayed at 41%, with 17 to 18% undecided. That's a margin-of-error race, but it's the first time in a very long time that we've seen Haley Stevens up over Abdul. The same poll tested the old three-person field and found El-Sayed at 41%, Stevens at 38%, and the flagging McMorrow at five. In other words, when McMorrow disappears, the voters are forced into a binary choice, and they're making it more on the Stevens side than the El-Sayed side. But still: tight, tight, tight, tight, tight.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Because we live in reboot culture, this is essentially — coalitionally, at least — Bernie Sanders versus Hillary Clinton for a new generation. The Stevens coalition is exactly like Hill-dogs: older voters, Black voters, traditional self-identified Democrats, non-college voters, and on the Michigan side, Metro Detroit — particularly Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne counties. What's powering Stevens is Black voters. She's led El-Sayed consistently in almost every poll. Meanwhile, Abdul's coalition is younger voters, very liberal and progressive voters, college-educated voters, voters outside Metro Detroit, Democratic Socialists, Arab Americans, and Muslim organizing networks. He also has significant labor support, including the UAW endorsement, despite most UAW members being non-college educated, which would normally fall outside his coalition. A very strange world we live in.The one demographic that's going to decide this race is women. They're the biggest disputed demo in every poll we've seen. An April Glenn Gariff poll showed Stevens leading among women 29% to 17%. But in a June Mitchell poll, the exact opposite was demonstrated: El-Sayed led with women 51% to Stevens's 35%. So as we look at the rest of the polls from now until Election Day, keep an eye on the ladies. They're the majority of the likely Democratic primary electorate. If Stevens can consolidate older and Black women while also inheriting McMorrow's suburban women, she can win. But if El-Sayed's progressive and younger female support holds, his coalition may be large enough to break through.Which brings me to the latest front of this war. I don't know if it's being done to court women, I don't know if it's being done specifically on purpose, but the results are undeniable: El-Sayed and Stevens are in an out-and-out shooting match to be more cringe. For Haley Stevens, this isn't something she has to worry about. She's naturally gifted in this regard. She's awkward, she has a thick Great Lakes accent, and she speaks in this clipped, emphatic manner. On one hand, she is herself. She feels less like a polished Washington candidate and more like somebody who wandered out of a Detroiters sketch. Abdul El-Sayed has the opposite problem. He's clearly a charismatic, compassionate candidate, a strong communicator, and an aggressive counterpuncher. But if you're running against him, your job is to make El-Sayed scare the hos. I think his campaign has found a solution: make himself toe-cringingly embarrassing. My read — and this is analysis, not something the campaign has admitted — is that cringe is a form of inoculation against being defined as scary. If you're embarrassing, you can't be terrifying.So who's going to win? I'm an old-school guy. I tend to bet chalk unless I'm convinced otherwise. And while I very much believe El-Sayed has the better campaign, and I think he's the better candidate if we're just looking at raw talent, I'd still bet the Michigan coalition that usually wins. Haley Stevens is a suboptimal candidate, and I've counted her out at every step of this race. I thought McMorrow was going to win. That obviously didn't happen. So don't take my prediction for a whole lot. But Stevens doesn't really have to do anything but be her cringy self to get over the line. Meanwhile, waiting on the other side, smiling like the butcher's dog, is Mike Rogers. He nearly beat Elissa Slotkin in 2024, losing by only 18 to 20,000 votes, about 0.3%. This is supposed to be more of a blue-wave year, but Rogers is going to benefit from a fractured leftward coalition. After Stevens and El-Sayed spend weeks beating the hell out of each other, the question is whether the losing half comes home. If they don't, Rogers benefits.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:01 - Michigan Preview00:14:58 - Update00:22:04 - Trump's Upcoming Address00:25:40 - Reconciliation00:29:36 - Inflation00:32:37 - Interview with Bill Scher01:20:01 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.
