Summary

Host Reed Galen discusses his approach to following the current Trump trial and Supreme Court hearing on Trump’s immunity, the importance of understanding where most voters are and not getting caught up in marginal issues that won't have a material effect on the election, and why Democrats need to start spending their resources now to ensure a victory in November. Plus, why this election will be a binary choice and why to approach it any differently is irresponsible to the defense of our nation’s democracy.
