NEW POD: What The Iran War Did To The Economy w/ @marthagimbel.bsky.social.
When we last checked in on the economy, on Feb 23, we were talking about a soft landing and a well-balanced macroeconomy.
Five days later, we went to war with Iran. Here's how things have changed...
NEW POD: Trump Declares Victory. Voters Send A Different Message.
I spoke w/ Mary Radcliffe & @lennybronner.com about Trump’s ceasefire, how voters are liable to react, & how they’ve already reacted in WI and GA elections.
We also previewed the election in Hungary this Sunday.
NEW POD: How low is Trump's approval rating floor?
Nate Silver and I talked about that and much more today's pod. He might have even spilled when the midterm forecast is launching 🤓
Hello all! I did a podcast with the fantastic @galendruke.bsky.social on the state of Japanese politics these days. He was a great interviewer---super prepared, interesting questions---so any kudos go to him. Hopefully it'll be useful to some of my friends as well.

Calling my lawyer lol
I'm back from Japan and have an episode all about Japanese politics in the GD POLITICS feed today!
I talked to @kmcelwain.bsky.social about PM Sanae Takaichi's mandate and the challenges that lie ahead: rising costs, constitutional amendments, immigration policy & more.
I am back from vacation/a news blackout and Mary Radcliffe and @baseballot.bsky.social had me guess everything that happened while I was gone!
I got a 70 percent 🤷

NEW POD: What is the endgame in Iran?
I talked to former Assistant Secretary of Defense Mara Karlin about what the apparent strategy is in Iran, conflicting messages from the White House aside. We also talked about the likeliest outcome.

Any questions about polls, elections, politics, the meaning of life... drop 'em below and we'll dig into them soon! 👇
Great live show last night with @claremalone.bsky.social, Nate Silver and special guest Eli McKown-Dawson!
We talked Texas results, war in Iran, AI doomerism... AND did our first-ever 2028 GOP primary draft.
Did Ted Cruz make the draft? Only one way to find out. 👇
After a week of think pieces and market gyrations, I sat down with @jburnmurdoch.ft.com for a data-driven conversation about how AI is impacting the world so far.
It's today's episode of the GD POLITICS podcast!
Is It Time To Freak Out About AI?

Grab a ticket and join us for our first-ever 2028 GOP primary draft.

The Texas Senate primaries are MESSY
I talked to @patricksvitek.bsky.social about it:

The midterms are 9 months away and the primaries begin in just 4 weeks!
Jacob Rubashkin and Leah Askarinam joined me on the GD POLITICS podcast to discuss the early math heading into the 2026 elections:
Probably to craft policy once politicians have done their campaigning in poetry and are ready to govern in prose. I don’t see “abundance” as a lane in the 2028 Democratic primary.
Curious for your thoughts. Also, here’s a link to the live show. It was a good one!

I view their project as something more akin to ALEC (Republican-aligned group that writes model legislation for state legislatures), than a campaign strategy.
Not that they have similar world views, but that their role in the Democratic Party is…
We frequently get listener questions on the GD POLITICS podcast about “abundance.” After our live show this week a listener approached me to ask about specific zoning laws (beyond “make it easier to build housing” type stuff).
It’s not something I’m very deep into, but what I told him is that…
This week Nate Silver, @claremalone.bsky.social and I hosted a live 2028 Democratic primary draft at the Comedy Cellar in New York City.
Two moments stuck out to me. Both were when we asked the audience whether they wanted to see Kamala Harris run for president in 2028.
Is Alex Pretti's killing a turning point?
On the latest episode of GD POLITICS I discussed that question with Mary Radcliffe and @baseballot.bsky.social
My answer: yes
Gabe Fleisher and I tried to assess Trump's first year back in office according to his own standards of success and failure.
We also looked at how Americans have reacted to him and where his new assertions of presidential power have been allowed to stand vs. batted down.
Check it out!
I asked Sen. Lisa Murkowski what I thought was something of a throw away question last summer:
"Is the president right that America would be better served if Greenland were part of the United States?"
She was clear: "No."
Join Gabe Fleischer and me at 3pm ET to chat about year one of Trump 2.0!
Americans are facing a torrent of political news 🤪
@lennybronner.com and I answered your questions on ICE, Iran, the Senate and more on today's episode of GD POLITICS.

It’s been a really slow news cycle, so I assume no one has any questions, but jic, drop them bellow. Recording a mailbag episode tomorrow! 📨
Former lieutenant governor of Georgia Geoff Duncan served as a Republican, but recently switched parties and is now running for governor as a Democrat.
I asked him about another Georgian who has recently had a change of heart: Marjorie Taylor Greene.
