Summary

Mike and Jay open the preview of this midweek supporters' episode with a look at reports from Goldman Sachs and the Penn Wharton Budget Model, both of which conclude that Kamala Harris’ economic plans will be better for the US economy than Donald Trump’s. However, there are some important caveats, which they delve into. Next, they look at where Congress is in the yearly budget process, with the fiscal year ending in less than two weeks. They also discuss the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which House Republicans initially included as a policy rider to the CR. Mike thinks it’s pointless election-year posturing that is likely to solve no problems and make it more difficult for some Democratic constituencies to vote. Jay sees it as a reasonable measure, especially in light of what he views as Democrats’ ultimate goal of allowing non-citizens to vote in federal elections. They close with Jay explaining why he’s not a Democrat, the first part of a multi-segment series that will be featured when Mike and Jay are hosting the podcast. (When Jay is done it will be Mike’s turn to explain why he left the GOP for good in the mid-2000s.)
