When tracking elections, it's always a good idea to heed the age-old advice: follow the money. And for 2024... that means following one of the biggest Super PACs in the country: the Club For Growth. They're already laying out their playbook for the 2024 elections. Audrey Fahlberg from The Dispatch breaks down where they think they can win.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Founder and President of Restoration PAC discusses the need for the Republican National Committee to move into the 21st century and modernize its approach to voting and what sort of party it is going to be. Doug Truax comments on the last two elections, which saw Democrats out-hustling Republicans on early voting says, that the mainstream of the Republican Party all believes that voters should be voting “as close to Election Day as possible, ballots in the mail are a bad idea. We all think that, and that's where we need to go to, but we can't get there if we don't win. And if we just keep losing elections, because we're not good at this new playing field that we're on, we're never going to make any change.” Truax says that the GOP needs “to have this conversation about this and say, look, we are going to have to chase ballots, we're going to have to make sure all of our people vote.” Using the example that, “if Aunt Sally can vote on a day, that's, a month and a half from the election, that's not ideal for us long term, but we got to make sure she goes and does it on that day. And then we got that box checked, she's voted.” Saying, “because you can see, even what happened in Maricopa County is, lo and behold, the system wasn't working great on election day, and people had to wait three hours and how many people do we lose?” Truax says that GOP only wanting to narrow itself to voting on Election Day and not trying to expand to mail-in-ballots, “is just asking for trouble.” Commenting, “if we narrow ourselves down to just this game that we currently want to play, and play that game. Well, that's not the real game that's being played, the real game is chase the ballots, get the votes in, everything is so quick, it's clearly divided, a lot of our elections are very close. So if we don't get this figured out, we are just going to keep losing.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome back to the final installment of our 3-part series on how elections have become an industry in our country. Now that we know where the big money in politics came from (Citizen's United) and who is getting it (Super PACs) we talk through what we can do about it. Stay tuned till the end to learn how you can save your brain from the political ads that are melting them. 

After nine rounds of voting, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif) failed to secure the votes needed to become speaker of the House. Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) discusses what can be done to break the stalemate. President of Club for Growth David McIntosh defends his organization's decision to make a deal with a McCarthy aligned Super PAC.

Hour 3 -  Good Thursday morning! Rapper Cardi B went on a 60-second inflation rant on Twitter. A local CBS news affiliate sent an email to the primary Super PAC supporting former President Trump's 2024 campaign Wednesday, calling Trump a number of names and saying he should “prepare” for prison. The email was sent by someone at KRCG CBS 13 in Missouri. Who in the world would shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars for Hunter Biden's works? The mother of one of his children is asking a court to force the president's son to reveal that information in an ongoing child support case in which Hunter is requesting his payments be reduced. Springfield City Council met with leaders from City Utilities this week to discuss the future of the Springfield bus system and energy production.

...Plus, McCarthy adds campaign Super PAC promises to sweeten the deal for holdouts 

Pete Buttigieg has a Super PAC that has formed which implies he is interested in running for President one day. The problem is Mayor Pete has failed at the job he has now and barely shows up for work. Take a moment and let me explain.

Reports indicate FTX donated $1 million to a Super PAC aligned with Mitch McConnell just weeks before the Cryto exchange organization went defunct.

Polling looks favorable for Warnock in Georgia for the runoff. Kevin McCarthy has an uphill battle to become speaker. Ron DeSantis just dominated Florida, seems destined to match wits with Trump and is admonishing an early Super PAC. What do we need to look for as he rounds into his first (and final?) few months as Florida governor? Kimberly Leonard from Insider joins the show.

The "Red Wave" that was trumped up as a red tsunami never materialized... it barely lapped the shore (I am keeping with the wave analogy here). So what happened? Did we Americans essentially fear the instability that election deniers pose to our democratic systems? If so, we must have feared this so much that we voted for the very party that most of us seem to blame for high inflation, which has always been the death knell for political parties in power in the U.S. This is a story of geography, demography, money & minority rule. My guest in this episode is Dr. David Schultz, a Distinguished Hamline University Professor of Political Science and Legal Studies. He is also a professor of law at Hamline as well as the University of Minnesota Schools of Law, where he teaches election law. In this conversation, he tells me about what he believes to be the most important election in U.S. history: the presidential election of 1800. Why is this election important? Because it set the precedent for the losing political party to relinquish power. At the end of the day, Adams conceded his loss (hint, Mr. Trump). Dr. Schultz explains how polarization has increased in America's politics over the last 50 years, and why polarization will decrease in the next decade (I know, I was surprised too). We also talk about a subject that has baffled and then angered me for years: Super PACs. Don't they threaten our democracy? We end our conversation with another intriguing realization - that America's election winners are receiving only a minority of the votes. This is a crazy idea in a democracy. Yet, it is happening in ours. To learn more about Dr. Schultz, you can visit his academic homepage. In addition, below are links to other interesting episodes: S1E40: The Real Story of Thanksgiving, Dr. David Silverman S2E27: America's Election Disputes & Violence, Prof. Edward Foley S2E38: Chile's History of Polarized Politics, Dr. Claudio Fuentes I hope you enjoy these episodes.

America exists today as a bizarre anomaly – we profess to be an electoral democracy, yet we are ruled by a governmental plutocracy. One especially gross example of this incongruity is the overwhelming power of big money over the people's will. By a wide margin, Americans of all political stripes want to ban the distorting force of huge, electoral campaign donations by favor-seeking corporations and ultra-rich elites. Yet… nothing. National and state lawmakers take the plutocratic money and promptly bury democratic reforms that could stop the gusher of corrupt cash. An analysis of donations in this year's congressional races shows that this plutocratic perversion of our politics and government has reached absurd levels. Historian Nancy McLean and public interest advocate Frank Clemente have documented that the two main SuperPACs trying to put Republicans in Congress got about half of their $188 million election fund from just 27 billionaires. Also, a corporate front that backs GOP candidates, Club for Growth, got nearly $35 million from only three billionaires. Thanks to years of congressional stonewalling and the steady partisan stacking of our top courts with corporate idealogues, there is essentially no limits on this purchase of lawmakers. Indeed, the biggest donors are even allowed to undermine democracy in secret, not revealing their identity. The money-dealing in politics translates directly into anti-democratic public policies. Lawmakers elected with this money not only support the billionaires' special-interest agenda (which the people don't want), but also are fierce opponents of any reforms to increase voter participation in our governing process (which people do want). That's why, for example, efforts to guarantee every eligible American a Constitutional right to vote have not moved forward in Congress – even though the great majority of people favor it. It's a simple political equation: Plutocratic money quashes democratic will, producing plutocratic public policies.

As Election Day quickly approaches, you've likely heard this election is the most important of our lifetime. But is it really? Or is it a ploy to persuade us that it is?When you watch, listen, scroll through social media or read an election flyer from your mailbox have you ever stopped and asked yourself, "who paid for this?"According to Research Director Michael Beckel from Issue One, a nonpartisan, nonprofit group that seeks to lessen the influence of money on politics, you should.5 Things Sunday host James Brown sat down with Beckel to talk about the money being funneled into campaigns both through Super PACS and through dark money and the problem with dark money funding different ads.According to Beckel, dark money groups don't have to disclose their donors and they "masquerade with very innocuous sounding names and they are not making it easy to identify if its a liberal or a conservative group."He said its an attempt to very coyly influence who you vote for.For more on following the money:Billionaires account for $1 of every $10 raised this election.

The political race between Angie Craig and challenger Tyler Kistner in Minnesota's Second Congressional District is one of the most competitive in the nation. Outside spending has reached nearly $15 million. We wanted to ask who's giving that money and how it might impact what the winner does when they are in office. So, we got Sarah Bryner on the line. She's the director of research and strategy for OpenSecrets, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization based in Washington D.C. that tracks money in politics. Bryner shared some key takeaways from the race: 1) The Craig/Kistner race is the 24th most expensive in the country so far, according to OpenSecrets. That includes $15 million spent by political action committees (PACs), national party committees and other outside groups, as well as close to $10 million spent by the candidates themselves. Outside, here, doesn't necessarily mean out of state or out of country. It's referring to corporations and individual people, who can donate to PACs, which can raise unlimited amounts of money. By comparison, political campaigns themselves have to follow strict rules around how much money they can accept from a given person or organization. 2) The biggest funders in this race are also the biggest players nationally. Two political action committees — Congressional Leadership Fund and House Majority PAC — are generally seen as arms for the two major political parties. Super PACs are required, by law, to disclose their donors. And the megadonors for this race include entrepreneur Peter Thiel, philanthropist Fred Eychaner and hedge fund manager Ken Griffin. That doesn't mean they're necessarily interested in Minnesota politics. Instead, they want to tip the scale nationally in favor of their party. “All races are becoming more nationalized, so any race could be the one that takes it for the party,” Bryner said. “These donors are party-lined ideological champions.” 3) Craig's campaign has raised more money, but incumbents almost always outraise their opponents. Craig has raised over $7.2 million; Kistner has raised about $3 million. Bryner said Craig's campaign has received more money from Minnesotans, both as a percentage of the total and in real dollars. That isn't typical — incumbents tend to rely on the “party establishment,” Bryner said. 4) All that money is increasingly spent online through digital advertising firms. That's where most of Craig's funding is going. Kistner, on the other hand, is spending more money on direct mail and flyers. Fundraising also goes toward day-to-day expenses, like staffer salaries. But mass media advertising on radio and television is still top of mind.

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! We hope you are part of the 816,000 people who have already voted early. If you aren't – go vote! And that's exactly where we kick off the show today. The state has already seen several turnout records in early voting this year with 816,000 people having cast their ballots already, compared to the 500,000 during the same time period in 2018. Of those who have already voted early, 16% did not vote at all in 2022. The panel discuss what these early numbers mean, and what, if any conclusion we can draw from the effects of SB 201, the voting bill that Democrats lambasted as voter suppression. In other news, Stacey Abrams is under fire yet again for a statement she made regarding the economic impact of the Dobbs decision during an interview on MSNBC. She said, “Let's be clear. Having children is why you're worried about your price for gas. It's why you're concerned about how much food costs. For women, this is not a reductive issue. You can't divorce being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy from the economic realities of having a child. It's important for us to be having both conversations. We don't have the luxury of reducing it or separating them out. But we also have to talk about what a governor can do: A governor can address housing prices. A governor can address the cost of education. A governor can put money in the pockets of everyday hardworking Georgians instead of giving tax cuts to the wealthy." Misstatement, or did she say what she meant? The panel discuss. Also, David Perdue emptied his campaign account this week and wrote a sizable check to Brian Kemp's Super PAC. Is all forgiven? Lastly, Barack Obama is coming to town! Noticeably absent is President Joe Biden. Why? Underhyped/Overhyped, Play-Along-At-Home and much, much more on today's episode!
