Hello from Washington, I'm Chuck Todd, and this is the Chuck Todd cast.

My guest today is Reed Wilson. He's the founder and editor of Pluribus News. It is a digital news outlet that is focused on state level public policy.

They cover everything going on in the 50 state legislatures.

When it happens there first, then it gets to Congress. going on the 50 state legislatures.

When it happens there first, then it gets to Congress

and a really important sort of early place

to understand where things are going.

AI regulation in particular has been of interest to me as different states tackle it and

it's a conversation that Reed and I will tackle.

But before we get started, remember to stick around for another listener question and please remember to submit your

questions to the Chuck Toddcast at gmail.com don't forget the the one of the reason I'm

having read on is how important some of these state level ballot initiatives

are going to be for the presidential race obviously abortion is a big one but

there's all sorts of stuff going on in the state level that is going to sort of what

I would call trickle up and apparently impact the presidential race.

But look, let me acknowledge this week, right? This is an odd week that we're at. We're sort of in the presidential campaign

weirdly in a holding pattern while we find out just what are the results of this trial in New York? How impactful is it going to be on the

electorate? Obviously what happens? Is it a conviction? Is it a clean

conviction? Is it a acquittal? Is it a clean acquittal? Is it a clean acquittal?

All of those things will matter here.

But I want to tackle another thought here on the Biden campaign

as it tries to figure out how to essentially reset itself for the summer in preparation for the debate at the end of June
