The Democratic Party and President Joe Biden are facing a lot of headwinds going into the final weeks of the midterm campaign. In this episode of Apple News Today’s special series exploring the most important issues affecting voters, editor Gideon Resnick talks with Gabriel Debenedetti, a national correspondent for New York Magazine covering the Democratic Party.

In The Long Alliance: The Imperfect Union of Joe Biden and Barack Obama (Henry Holt, 2022) New York Magazine national correspondent Gabriel Debenedetti reveals an inside look at the historically close, complicated, occasionally co-dependent, and at-times uncertain relationship between Joe Biden and Barack Obama. Delving far deeper than the simplistic “bromance” narrative that's long held the public eye, The Long Alliance reveals the past, present, and future of the unusual partnership, detailing its development, its twists and turns, its ruptures and reunions, and its path to this pivotal moment for each man's legacy. The true story of this relationship, from 2003 into 2022, is significantly more layered and consequential than is widely understood. The original mismatch between the veteran Washington traditionalist and the once-in-a-generation outsider has transformed repeatedly in ways that have molded not just four different presidential campaigns and two different political parties, but also wars, a devastating near-depression, movements for social equality, and the fight for the future of American democracy. The bond between them has been, at various times over the past two decades, tense, affectionate, nonexistent, and ironclad — but it has always been surprising. Now it is shaping a second presidential administration, and the future of the world as we know it. Caleb Zakarin is the Assistant Editor of the New Books Network (Twitter: @caleb_zakarin).

The complicated relationship between Barack Obama and Joe Biden is mostly thought of through the lens of their two terms in the White House , but today's guest, New York Magazine writer Gabriel Debenedetti tells us that the relationship spans almost 2 decades. Debenedetti's new book, The Long Alliance which was published yesterday, profiles the two president's relationship from 2003 up until this year, a time span in which he says the two men had a nuanced but at times turbulent relationship. We'll talk about the duo's decision making, how their personal lives seeped into their professional ones, and what their relationship looks like now. Debenedetti writes for New York Magazine, which he joined in 2018, but previously covered politics and the 2016 presidential race for Politico. He also previously covered the Obama Administration and Capitol Hill for Reuters.

Remember the Joe Biden and Barack Obama friendship bracelets from the 2020 campaign? That — and the whole Obama-Biden bromance meme — was cringe, and it was also an oversimplification of a much more interesting story. Gabriel Debenedetti, national correspondent for New York magazine, talks with me about their two-decade relationship that has shaped American politics in the 21st century. Gabe's new book (out Tuesday) is called The Long Alliance: The Imperfect Union of Joe Biden and Barack Obama. We talked about Obama's behind-the-scenes work to set up Hillary Clinton as the 2016 nominee, effectively boxing out Joe Biden; Biden's reputation for gaffes and his newsmaking interview endorsing gay marriage before Obama did; and Biden's relationship with his own vice president, Kamala Harris.For a transcript of this interview and to subscribe to our newsletter, go to www.joshbarro.com.

Though he has yet to officially announce, President Biden has made it clear he’ll seek reelection in 2024. But given his age and approval ratings, a lot of Democrats are asking, “What’s the backup plan?” National correspondent for New York magazine Gabriel Debenedetti spoke with Washington insiders about the lead-up to the next presidential election. Apple News In Conversation host Shumita Basu spoke with Debenedetti about his reporting.

In this episode of The New Abnormal, hosts Molly Jong-Fast and Andy Levy call out Republicans for avoiding the gun conversation at all costs, including Texas Gov.

Gabriel Debenedetti, national correspondent at New York Magazine, on the latest political news.

Gabriel Debenedetti, national correspondent at New York Magazine, talks about the latest news from Washington, D.C., including the uphill battle the Biden administration faces as it confronts the previous administration's legacy on foreign policy, and the challenges of diplomacy facing the new president.

The geopolitical situation facing President Biden is largely a situation created by his predecessor, who re-shuffled old alliances and worked to dismantle the US foreign policy apparatus. On Today's Show:Gabriel Debenedetti, national correspondent at New York Magazine, talks about the latest news from Washington, D.C., including the uphill battle the Biden administration faces as it confronts the previous administration's legacy on foreign policy, and the challenges of diplomacy facing the new president.

A supermajority or a qualified majority is a requirement for a proposal to gain a specified level or type of support which exceeds a simple majority in order to have effect. In some jurisdictions, for example, parliamentary procedure requires that any action that may alter the rights of the minority has a supermajority requirement (such as a two-thirds majority). Changes to constitutions, especially those with entrenched clauses, commonly require supermajority support in a legislature. A supermajority is absolute if the required percentage or fraction is based on the entire membership rather than on those present and voting. The United States Senate requires a supermajority of 60 percent to move to a vote through a cloture motion, which closes debate on a bill or nomination, thus ending a filibuster by a minority of members. There are currently 100 members, so sixty percent is sixty Senators. The United States Constitution requires a supermajority of two-thirds of both houses of United States Congress to propose a Congress-driven constitutional amendment; it also requires a three-quarters supermajority of state legislatures for final adoption of any constitutional amendment, as well as a two-thirds supermajority to pass a bill over the president's veto. Once upon a time — as in a few weeks ago, when the polls were exuberantly predicting a Democratic landslide — America’s pundits took to musing about how Joe Biden could soon become the next Franklin D. Roosevelt. “COVID-19 and the disastrous White House response [appear] to have dramatically widened Biden’s pathway to the presidency, making the matter of moderation and electability seem, at least for the time being, almost moot,” wrote Gabriel Debenedetti in New York magazine. “[Now Biden] considers the present calamity and plots a presidency that, by awful necessity, he believes must be more ambitious than FDR’s.” #TrendingNews #tulsi #media #facebook #potus #progressive #TRENDING: #UnitedStates #HouseOfRepresentatives

While campaigning in Georgia Trump continued pushing his false claims of 2020 victory.

Joe Biden isn't staying as quiet as you might think. Still, many Dems want to see more of their presumptive candidate. Plus, how good are the alternatives to in-person voting? On Today's Show:Gabriel Debenedetti, national correspondent at New York Magazine, and Emily Bazelon, staff writer for The New York Times Magazine, co-host of Slate's "Political Gabfest" podcast, Truman Capote fellow for creative writing and law at Yale Law School and author of Charged: The New Movement to Transform American Prosecution and End Mass Incarceration (Random House, 2019), talk about the latest on the Biden campaign and look ahead to November.

After two March shellackings, the Sanders campaign appears to have lost its path to the nomination. With Biden's lead poised to widening enough to avert a brokered convention, the question for the Democrats going forward is decreasingly, "Who?" and increasingly, "How?" How should Biden try to bring Sanders supporters on board? And will Sanders do a better job than in 2016 of uniting his base behind the party's candidate?  On Today's Show:Gabriel Debenedetti, national correspondent for New York Magazine, breaks down yesterday’s primaries, the first contest after Super Tuesday narrowed the field, and the second of three major contest days in March.

In this episode, we examine the results of Tuesday’s elections in Virginia and around the country and explore how they may impact the 2018 midterms. We also dig into the results for local races here in Colorado. Virginia Election Results On Tuesday night, Democrats finally got the post-Trump wins they’ve been waiting for, in Virginia and around the country. As reporter Gabriel Debenedetti notes for Politico: “Democratic leaders reset their expectations for the 2018 midterms. They’re now expecting a fundraising and candidate recruitment surge, powered by grassroots fury at the Trump administration.” Whether that surge materializes around the country remains to be seen. Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist has 5 Takeaways on Virginia’s Election Sweep for Democrats, pointing to the stark difference between Gillespie’s performance this year – 9 point loss – and his 2014 Senate race where he lost by less than a percentage point to Mark Warner. There are a few plausible explanations, but the simple fact is that it was a crushing loss for Gillespie. Still, Hillary Clinton did win Virginia in 2016, and so the top of the ticket isn’t the best place to see what’s been described as a Democratic “tsunami”. The real groundbreaking developments were in the Virginia House of Delegates, where Democrats turned a 66-34 Republican advantage into a tight battle for control that will come down to recounts. They were able to make such huge gains by focusing particularly on Northern Virginia districts where Hillary Clinton won last year. Of the 20 State House seats that saw significant changes from their 2015 results, 12 are located in Northern Virginia, and Democrats were able to flip 9 of them while putting one normally closely contested district comfortably out of reach. They also made gains in the Richmond suburbs (3 seats), Virginia Beach (2 seats), and one high profile race in the Blacksburg area. [We’ll post a spreadsheet breaking down results in these 20 seats along with our show notes]. This success didn’t happen overnight, and comes as the result of Democrats finally focusing on down ballot races in Virginia in a manner that they hope to replicate across the country during next year’s midterms. What does it mean for Republicans? Virginia Republican Party Chairman John Whitbeck acknowledged that was a “terrible night”: “Virginia has changed and is changing…68 percent of voters under the age of 45 voted Democrat. Minority populations continue to climb as a percent of Virginia’s population and…our nominees lost non-white voters 80 percent to 20 percent. If we do not find a way to appeal to these two groups, the results will be grim.” While also blaming the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate: “If no major items are passed in the U.S. Senate over the next year, the 2017 elections will be a preview of 2018 elections”. Colorado Election Results While there were no high profile statewide issues here in Colorado, local races provided plenty of intrigue. The races for Douglas County School Board, which has been in a prolonged court battle after pushing for a school voucher program, provided a resounding message against the conservative slate, as each conservative candidate lost by at least 15 percentage points. It is the latest show of local activism against a divisive school board here in Colorado. Voters in Broomfield passed Question 301, which gives the city more oversight over oil and gas operations, by a comfortable 15-point margin. The campaign attracted nearly $400,000 in outside money, and a battle over the legality of Question 301 is inevitable. Voters throughout El Paso County and in Colorado Springs passed several ballot issues and tax increases for everything from schools and firefighters to widening the I-25 gap and upgrading the stormwater infrastructure in Colorado Springs. As the Colorado Springs Gazette editorial notes: “The results prove taxpayers are confident in the regions’ economic future and are satisfied with political leadership.”
