Hello and welcome to the 538 Politics Podcast.

I'm Galen Druke.

Where does the Republican Party go from here?

In the just four years since former President Trump took office, the party lost the House,

the Senate, and White House.

Its leaders also stoked wild conspiracy theories that spurred some supporters to commit violence

at the Capitol.

And now, factions of the party are fighting amongst themselves as they try to decide the

best ideological path forward.

So what should the party do to sway voters in its direction?

And does it include addressing the extremists and conspiracy theorists within its ranks?

Today, we're going to talk about those questions with people who have spent their careers in

Republican politics and conservative thought.

And here with me is Kristen Sultis Anderson, founder of the polling firm, Ashilan Insights,

and commenced at the Washington Examiner.

Hi Kristen.

Hi, thanks for having me.

Great to have you.

All's here with us is Henry Olson, senior fellow at the Ethics and Policy Center, and

commenced at the Washington Post.

Hello, Henry.

Hello, Galen.
