Podcasts about midterms

Haley Stevens has found her groove. She's made herself into a plucky underdog, which is hard because she'd been typecast as the spoiled golden girl — Chuck Schumer's special little lady who was handed everything and had all the money. Mallory McMorrow was fresh, Abdul El-Sayed was exciting, and Stevens looked like she was getting run over. Now her message is: I don't care what they make fun of me for. I'm like you, and I'm looking out for you. It's solid. It's good.El-Sayed has run a very good campaign, but he's had trouble restabilizing since Stevens found her footing. His problem is explaining his progressive message to people who don't automatically buy into it. You need to describe the what before the why. Start with the person who counted on a government check that didn't come, then explain why it happened and where the money went. El-Sayed keeps starting with AIPAC and the quid pro quo because he's still talking to progressives. Progressives understand that language, but everybody else might not.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

She keeps pointing out that he makes fun of the way she talks, and she brought up his comment about putting an ogre's head on a spike. That matters because El-Sayed needs the McMorrow women — voters who weren't into Stevens but could be talked into a more progressive way of thinking. He's going to ride and die on being a fighter, including his support for abolishing ICE. That's authentic, but he's more of a blunt instrument than Bernie Sanders or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Stevens looked confident under the lights. El-Sayed didn't look in command. My prediction: Stevens by five.Trump, meanwhile, has asked the Supreme Court to revive parts of his executive order restricting mail voting before the November midterms. A federal judge blocked provisions directing agencies to build state citizenship lists and requiring the Postal Service to send mail ballots only to currently listed voters. I'm not personally for asking states to assemble these lists so close to an election, for the same reason I wasn't for expanding mail voting during COVID. Anytime you're expanding or restricting voting and changing the electorate, you've got to do it with some tender loving care.Trump also met with Benjamin Netanyahu for the first time since the United States and Israel launched their joint air campaign against Iran. Iran was expected to dominate the meeting as Trump decides whether to resume large-scale strikes or give diplomacy more time. There's visible friction: Trump doesn't like Netanyahu publicly raising concerns about activity at Iran's Pickaxe Mountain to pressure him, while Netanyahu wants to preserve military pressure. Their decision could determine whether this pause becomes a negotiating window or merely an intermission. Nobody knows what's happening in Iran. There are only so many ways I can say it.Michigan's attorney general is also reviewing how a false allegation against Pete Buttigieg led authorities to separate him from his four-year-old twins. Officials acted on a vague tip before confirming the caller's identity or credibility, and Michigan State Police later declared the allegation unfounded. Investigators found a Facebook post in which the apparent caller urged people not to vote for Buttigieg and referenced the accusation before contacting authorities. Emergency responses involving children need a hair trigger, but unsupported accusations can also become political intimidation. It's ugly — really, really, really ugly.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:49 - Michigan00:21:31 - Israel, Iran, and Ukraine00:30:40 - Mayor Pete Swatted00:34:22 - Interview with Howard Mortman01:06:28 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Every story this week is the same story: powerful men demanding that you prove yourself to them while refusing to prove a goddamn thing to you.Prove your citizenship, in person, on paper, to register to vote. Prove you condemned the right slogans loudly enough to be allowed at a memorial in your own city. Meanwhile a sitting United States Senator cannot be produced on camera after 43 days, the Pentagon subtracts fifteen wounded Americans from its own ledger and offers a duty officer who is never at the desk, and the President of the United States announces a fourth term in a red hat and then says he is only kidding. This episode covers the Weekend at Mitchie's Counter and the EMS audio nobody wants to talk about, the SAVE Act as a pre-written excuse rather than a bill, four female reporters attacked in six days, a six hour Truth Social bender that produced a time travel epic and a wall against Canadian air, three hundred families petitioning to bar the first Muslim mayor of New York from Ground Zero, the debut of a brand new recurring segment with original music, James Carville nominating from his recovery bed the kid his party threw out an airlock, and Nick Turse's reporting on a casualty count that runs backwards. Reality Check is the one that will get Robin yelled at: the policies are popular, the vehicle cannot carry them, and the reason is machinery, not messaging....the DSABecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

The outcome of Michigan's Senate race will have major implications for the balance of power in Washington, DC, and for the future of the Democratic Party itself.

In Episode 1, Marc lays out Trump's three-part strategy to subvert the election: suppressing Democratic votes, manipulating voter data to disqualify voters and using false fraud claims to challenge results.

After nearly five months of conflict with Iran, Trump needs a new strategy to end the war. Iran is betting high gas prices and the continuing conflict will hand the midterms over to Democrats. The U.S. needs to turn the Iranian playbook against the regime—recognizing an alternative government, cutting off all funds, and refusing to […]

Sending FBI Director Kash Patel to Moscow right before the Midterms is like sending a coked-up frat boy into a whorehouse in hell, and the FSB will eat him alive. As Trump pushes the SAVE Act to disenfranchise millions, is he calling in Russian reinforcements to steal Congress?  Can we overcome a gutted Voting Rights Act, MAGA poll taxes, and Russian cyber warfare and disinformation brainrotting? Yes. By treating our vote as sacred and doing the unglamorous, powerful grassroots work that wins elections–and ensured Zohran Mamdani defeated Andrew Cuomo not once, but twice. We deserve nice things–but we must work for them. That's how progress gets made. Our heroes who came before us felt demoralized and tired, too. Andrea's new book, A Reasonable Guide for Unreasonable Women: 20 Steps to Find Your Purpose and Power in a World on Fire, shares some of their stories and insights. We can put an end to Trump and Putin's dreams of turning America into a Russian-style oligarchy by remembering our power.  On this week's show, we're joined by comedian and activist Pete Dominick of the Stand Up with Pete Dominick podcast.

Thaddeus McCotter. McCotter analyzes the president's recent address regarding the 2020 election, calling it a strategic narrative designed to insulate himself against potential midterm losses. He argues that focusing on past grievances rather than current economic concerns like gas prices and inflation may be counterproductive for the Republican Party's success. (14)1950 STORK CLUB

Thaddeus McCotter. Thaddeus McCotter discusses how high gasoline prices and affordability issues weigh on the upcoming U.S. midterms. The conversation also covers the Trump administration's use of punitive tariffs against Canada, drawing parallels to the Smoot-Hawley Act, which historically exacerbated the Great Depression by triggering international trade wars.

Donald Trump lost his temper with a reporter on Tuesday after she pressed him on why Iran is continuing to fight. In barely-concealed anger, he ripped her organization as “fake” and insisted Iran “desperately” wants to make a deal. But of course, that only revealed the line of questioning to be absolutely correct: Iran is not desperate, and he really does not know how to force Iran's hand or get out of this disaster. Meanwhile, Politico reports that GOP anxiety is growing about how the Iran war will hurt the party in the midterms. Politico sums up the GOP attitude with the word “bleak,” noting that Republicans are “distressed” about the war's political impact, with one calling this a “quagmire.” We talked to former State Department official Marie Harf. We discuss the deeper reasons Trump is so stuck, what Iran has come to understand about Trump, how Republicans screwed themselves by giving Trump a blank check, and why only a Democratic Congress might be able to extricate us from this fiasco.

Mark and Ed discuss the likelihood of Republicans winning seats in different states as funding for President Trump and Republicans appears solid.

To date, Trump 2.0 has been defined by everybody appearing to be on the same page and by a sense that the administration kept moving its priorities forward. You might not have liked what those priorities were, but the priorities did get done. The one big beautiful bill was described as an administration's worth of priorities getting done too soon, and it seems like that might have been prophetic. Trump 1.0 returns when internal fights spill into public view, aides leak against one another, major spectacles vanish with nothing much changing, and the president treats factional drama as fuel rather than a problem to solve.Go back to the beginning of 2025, when Trump 2.0 very much was aligned. The coalition was locked in. The administration had momentum. USAID dismantled in a split second. The one big beautiful bill pushed over the finish line in record time. Again, the point isn't that these were good things that happened. It's that they kept happening. But no momentum is made to last forever. Maybe the coalition was always doomed to splinter. The cracks began to show as people were fired, as Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi went down for various different ICE shootings and Epstein, accelerating distrust and leaving Dan Bongino back on the radio airwaves. Either way, the drama that Trump 2.0 kept outside the tent has now fully moved back within it.How do we know? Because they're telling us.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Take the address that happened last Thursday night. We knew officials were fighting over how much information the president should share when he was speaking to America. Acting DNI Bill Pulte pushed for a more aggressive version, but senior White House aides intervened. Separate reports said the speech might have claimed that Georgia's two Democratic senators were elected illegitimately because they both came in during the 2020 runoff. The final address didn't go that far, meaning somebody pulled something back — or at least that's what the reports would lead us to believe, which means somebody inside the administration is telling a reporter. The 24-minute speech eventually focused more on election interference and intelligence findings as a way to get to the idea that the Save America Act should be passed. But even that's telling, because the speech was quickly swallowed by the news cycle. That's another hallmark of Trump 1.0: a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing, or at least nothing that's remembered more than 48 hours later.The biggest Trump 1.0 tell is Iran. From the very beginning, the administration has said the Iran strategy has two hands. Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth are the closed fist, the violence that will come down on the regime, while J.D. Vance, Jared Kushner, and Steve Witkoff are the open hand of diplomacy. If you want to make a deal on our terms, we're always welcome. In the meantime, we'll punch you in the face. Trump has actively encouraged a rivalry between Vance and Rubio, asking people all the time who they think should be the next president. And now the proxies of both men are in out-and-out war online.Alex Bruesewitz is on the J.D. Vance side, making it a priority to talk about how much foreign influence, including Israel, is affecting the discourse. Meanwhile, Israel hawks, including Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro, are attacking Vance, saying he's surrendering to Qatar and he's mostly a socialist. The damage is falling most heavily on Vance because he's become the face of diplomacy. If the memorandum of understanding had worked, he would've gotten the credit. Since there's now a lot of violence happening in that region again, he gets the blame. Instead of all of this being part of one big rolling ball that is the Trump administration, we now have winners and losers, which means people inside that sphere are playing the game. Very Trump 1.0.The reason this happens in both instances is, well, Big Chungus. Trump 2.0's advantage was that the drama stayed outside the tent and the team inside was united. Now we're getting a clearer view of exactly what the war behind closed doors looks like, and in my opinion, it goes hand in hand with priorities not being enacted. You hear a lot about the Save America Act, but it's stalled and doesn't have the votes to become law. Iran is different because the consequences are immediate. Trump has to show that either pressure or diplomacy can produce a successful end state. If neither path works, he'll have made a very big bet without a clear conclusion, and he'll have to define a win for himself even if it's not very clear to the American people. We might already be in the lame-duck phase for Donald Trump, which may make all of these problems worse.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:44 - Trump 1.000:11:36 - Darlene Graham00:16:05 - Reconciliation, Again, Again00:19:38 - Andy Burnham00:25:03 - Interview with Michael Cohen01:13:55 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Bryan covers the mounting toll of the conflict, including a death count now at 18 US service members, a near-shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz that has pushed oil past $90 a barrel, and Trump's warning of an even bigger week of strikes ahead.

During his prime-time speech dissembling endlessly about our elections, Donald Trump raged at news organizations for refusing to carry him live. Then his Homeland Security secretary also smeared the media, a sign Trump's fury continues to deepen. We think this means Trump fully expects news organizations to help him amplify his lies about our elections to sow distrust in them. As we discuss in this episode, his speech revealed that he's plainly mulling an effort to rig the midterms, and sowing that distrust is key to it. A funny thing, though: Fox News explicitly declined to endorse his claims and refrained from carrying his DHS secretary. And according to Fox sources, insiders were dismayed to hear Trump obsessing over our elections, thought it was bad politics for the GOP, and even worried it was bad for business given post-2020 litigation against Fox. We talked to Harvard political scientist Ryan Enos, who explains how Trump is telegraphing an authoritarian plot to corrupt the elections, why the assaults on the media are central to that, and what we must see in response from Democrats and the American people.

Donald Trump does not need to stuff a ballot box to steal the 2026 midterm elections. He needs subpoenas, search warrants, and sixty one days of manufactured doubt between Election Day on November 3 and the swearing in of the new Congress on January 3. In this episode, I walk through the entire threat model, step by step, so you can spot the con before he runs it.We start with the January seizure of 656 boxes of ballots from Fulton County, Georgia, and Trump's July 16 televised address claiming China, noncitizen voting, and compromised election systems have already tainted the midterms. Then I break down how a stolen House majority would work in practice: manufacturing a presumption of fraud before votes are cast, turning close Democratic wins into federal criminal investigations, pressuring county boards to delay election certification, and exploiting the House clerk, credentials, and the opening roll on January 3 to keep an elected majority from organizing the chamber. No conspiracy corkboard, no fan fiction. Just what has already happened, what Trump has already said, and where the real choke points in the American election system sit.In this episode:The Fulton County ballot seizure and why grabbing original election records mid-cycle mattersTrump's foreign interference claims vs. what the intelligence community found about 2020How "election interference" became a magic phrase that replaces evidenceFederal election investigations across at least eight states and DOJ voter roll demands in roughly thirtyElection certification delays as a political weaponJanuary 3, the House clerk, certificates of election, and the credentials fight nobody is ready forThe Adelita Grijalva seven-week swearing-in delay and what it proved about procedural powerWhy the 25th Amendment fantasy is bullshit, and what the real defenses areThe 2020 playbook: Raffensperger, fake electors, and the pressure campaign before January 6Hungary's 79 percent turnout election and what blowout margins can and cannot doWhat voters can do right now: registration checks, ballot curing, poll working, and evidence preservationCheck your voter registration today at your state's official election website.

Most senators didn't question Todd Blanche's qualifications to lead the Justice Department at his confirmation hearing, they questioned whether the man who spent years as President Trump's personal lawyer would serve the president or the country. President Trump notified Congress that the U.S. is back at war with Iran, starting a new 60-day clock for military action, though the clock that may matter most is the midterms as gas prices ripple through the economy. And Trump's pick for intelligence chief, Jay Clayton, wouldn't acknowledge the results of the 2020 election at his hearing, leaving Democrats to ask why a man with no intelligence experience won't give a straight answer.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?
