Welcome to Potsave America. I'm Dan Pfeiffer. Joining me today is former senior advisor to President Obama, David Oxelrod. You all know Axe. Maybe you've heard him on this pod, listen to either of his shows, Hax on Tap, or the Axe files, or you'll likely seen him on CNN. Axe is an all-around expert that can speak to anything in Democratic politics. I asked Axe to come on the show because I wanted to talk to someone smart about the midterms,

both what the map looks like for the Dems after a series of devastating court rulings

and what he thinks of some of the candidates running up and down the ballot.

I also wanted to talk to him about messaging, namely how some of the party's leading voices

and likely 28 candidates are talking about the administration and if their theories of the

case are actually any good. We shared a great and wide-ranging conversation, which we'll get to in a minute. But before we do, if you're a friend of the pod subscriber, which if you aren't, you should be, you can now buy tickets for this year's CrookedCon. There's a special pre-sale just for subscribers. But if you're not a subscriber because you hate pro-democracy media and love listening to podcast ads. You can buy cricket com tickets next week starting on May 19th.

Either way, it'll be a big fun party right after the midterms, November 5th to 7th in Washington, D.C. Go to cricketcom.com for more details, including how to become a friend of the pod subscriber. All right, let's get to the show. Here's David Oxalrod.

David Oxalrod. Welcome back to Puts of America. Yeah, it's good to be with you, brother.

Always good to see you. It's been a long time since I've seen you. It has.

But I assume I'll catch you in Chicago in about a month of the Obama Library opening.

I'm looking forward to it. I went through there the other day. Have you been there? I have not.

I talked to Cody Keenan after he went and he said it was quite emotional actually and pretty amazing. That's exactly. I went over sort of out of a sense of obligation. They'd wanted me to come

see it. And I found it incredibly emotional. It really was like reliving the journey.

So I'm anxious for you guys to see it.

Yeah, we're very excited about it.

All right.

Fortunately, we've got a lot of things we have the happening between now and then.

We are now less than six months from the midterms.

A few weeks ago, things looked great.

Democrats felt like they were on a glide path to

taking the House by a pretty significant margin. Then, for the last few weeks, there's been

nothing but bad news. Supreme Court got to the Voting Rights Act. The Republicans are rapidly
