Summary
Let’s talk about polling! A bunch of new polls have us feeling a whole lot of feelings right now. 'Pod Save America' co-host Jon Lovett joins us for a vibe check on the state of the presidential race, and shares what he thinks we should all take away from the latest polls. Later in the show, New York magazine reporter Kevin Dugan explains former President Donald Trump's latest foray into the world of cryptocurrency.
And in headlines: Israeli airstrikes hit 1,300 targets in Lebanon, Nebraska Republicans failed in their scheme to change how the state awards its presidential electoral votes, and the Republican Governors’ Association announced no more ad buys in North Carolina amid the scandal involving Lt. Gov. and gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson.
