Summary

Mike and Jay open the preview of this supporters’ midweek episode with a discussion of the controversy surrounding Harvard President Claudine Gay. Jay thinks Gay should step down or resign, while Mike questions a system that promoted Gay given her sparse publication record, but argues that you don’t have to be a great academic to be a great university president. Next, they discuss a new AP/NORC poll on the state of democracy (it’s not good) and how well they feel democracy in America is working out these days, followed by a look back at their predictions for 2023 and some new predictions for 2024.
