Summary

Ravi Gupta and guest host Stephen Webber, filling in for Jason Kander, start with some rare good news for Democrats, breaking down Harry Enten’s latest analysis showing early positive signs in New Jersey’s returns and what that might mean heading into 2026. They unpack data showing Democrats cutting into the GOP’s mail ballot lead, rising early vote enthusiasm, and a noticeable shift in party energy as figures like Senator Schatz test new messages aimed at revving up the base. Gupta and Webber also highlight the bizarre week for Republican leadership, as Speaker Johnson defends the president’s crude social media posts and dodges questions about pardoning a January 6 rioter, while Ted Cruz stokes culture war outrage over pro-democracy protests. Meanwhile, Trump spends his days golfing, demanding DOJ payouts, and posting rants as his shutdown drags on and GOP hypocrisy explodes—from private jet subsidies to ballroom renovations. The hosts then turn to North Carolina’s redistricting fight, stalled Democratic donor activity, and the brewing Maine Senate race, before diving into escalating tensions with Venezuela, confusion over U.S. beef imports, and Trump’s latest chaos at the DOJ.

1:25.6	of elections, and we'll get into that a little bit. Party ID margin, Denver versus Republicans. Specifically, I'm talking about Gallup. Back in quarter one of 2025, it was a tie. Look at how much Democrats have gained on this metric, according to Gallup, their latest metric. Democrats are ahead by seven points. That is a seven point movement to the left. I looked at some other pollsters as well to see if there was similar movement among quinipiac. It was plus one Republican. And you can see again, movement to the left, Democrats plus three. You know, last year going into the 2024 presidential election, that was the rare time in which Republicans actually held a lead in Gallup's party ID measure. That Republican lead is no more. Adios
