Deciding To Win
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss “Deciding To Win,” a new voter survey from a Democratic leaning think tank that says 70 percent of voters believe the Democratic Party is out of touch and urges the party to return to more centrist positions. They also talk about Steve Bannon’s recent interview with The Economist, where he described President Donald Trump as a “vehicle of divine providence” and said there was a plan afoot for him to serve another term starting in 2028. Next, they discuss the House Oversight Committee’s report on former President Joe Biden’s mental acuity and its conclusion that some of Biden’s presidential pardons should be voided because there was “no approval traceable to the president’s own consent". And finally, RCP national correspondent Susan Crabtree joins Andrew and Carl to discuss new polling that shows California’s Prop 50 is likely to pass next Tuesday, ushering in congressional redistricting designed to help Democrats win more House seats in the 2026 midterms.
