Beth Solomon’s claim to fame, she told me earlier today, is getting fired from more jobs than anyone she knows. So she knows a bit about getting up, restarting and cranking away. (I, like many other Substackers, empathize with this and have even turned it into a strategic career decision.) Solomon started out as a journalist working with ABC News and Voice of America, then as a former speechwriter...

“Now I’m a conservative, and I remember we’re all rolling our eyes at Bernie Sanders, ‘The millionaires and the billionaires’. And it’s like, ‘f*** me.’ The billionaires have decided it’s not enough for us to be really, really wealthy and to have the biggest yacht. We actually want power.” That’s the great Charlie Sykes on the latest episode of The Ground Game Pod (get it here on the Substacks , o...

Mike Madrid knows Latino voters. The co-founder of The Lincoln Project, former political director of the California Republican Party and author most recently of The Latino Century explains the stakes in the closing days of the 2024 race and what Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are doing right and wrong in courting this pivotal (and soon to be dominant) group of Americans. If you’ve got a good guest...

The Ground Game Pod is live! For our premier, we brought on a voting expert keeping close tabs on the vote-by-mail returns in Pennsylvania, Joshua Smithley - author of Pennsylvania Powered on Substack and his Twitter feed BlockedFreq Some key observations from the early vote-by-mail numbers from Smithley: * Harris does seem to be holding the Biden PA coalition together * Overall turnout will likel...

Hey friends, Patrick Pfingsten and I are teaming up to launch a new pod with a unique way of covering this very important race for the White House — from the ground up. Every race is decided from the ground up, and we’re skipping the horse race for intelligence from the smartest operators who understand everywhere from Erie, PA to Maricopa County. This is a podcast of sanity and intelligence in a...

For our latest pod, Patrick Pfingsten and I went around the horn on the biggest topics at the moment in the race for the White House: * What to make of the misinformation online which is hampering relief efforts for Hurricane Helene and the anticipated destruction from Hurricane Milton? * Is Kamala Harris’s media blitz any good? * Is Harris properly distancing herself from Biden? * What to make of...

Hey friends, sending out the latest joint video pod with myself and Patrick Pfingsten of The Illinoize — we break down the stakes (or lack thereof) in tonight’s big VP debate between Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance. A lot of potential upside here for Vance, given he’s walking in with historically low popularity and downside for Walz, who has been shielded from big media interviews...

Hey friends, sending around our latest rundown of the race — focusing first on what the goal of the Harris media strategy should be (spoiler: we need more details and need more tough interviews.) We also talk about Tom’s latest reporting trip to PA, covering a Keep Our Republic panel in Harrisburg and election integrity and security. And toward the end we discuss, who else, Mike Pence. Because the...

Patrick Pfingsten, founder of The Illinoize and I broke down the aftermath of this second assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump in our latest video chat! In case you missed, you can catch our first one here: Show notes: How is this level of bonkers in national politics sustainable? Ryan Wesley Routh, who was even quoted in the New York Times, clearly seems to be off his rocker Wha...

Friends, very excited to Gabe Fleisher of Wake up to Politics which is now on Substack, on for the 24sight Pod. The “veteran” reporter tag here is a bit ironic because Gabe is still young, he just graduated Georgetown, but he’s been covering the campaigns for more than a decade now! He’s a great beat reporter, I’ve bumped into him on the trail a bunch over the years, and has some great insights on...

Bill Scher, politics editor of The Washington Monthly and co-host of the long-running “The DMZ Podcast” with Matt Lewis , is back on the 24sight Pod to run through the state of the race. Show notes: The Harris campaign has run a clinic for the last three weeks and it makes a difference Walz seems to have the barstool distillation of top issues like abortion  The final Sorkin twist is chasing singu...

This is a big one. I got Julie Mason on the 24sight Pod. It is exactly as wild and excellent as you’d expect from one of the grandmasters of the craft. In case you’re not a battle-hardened “pooligan” of the highest order, Julie hosts The Julie Mason show weekdays, 3p-6p ET on SiriusXM POTUS (Channel 124.) If you’re driving down the ocean, or heading on a vacation, highly recommend this listen, it’...

Friends, for episode 20 of the 24sight Pod we’ve got Tim Mak - founder of The Counteroffensive on Substack, a longtime reporter and author of the very excellent book about the NRA, “Misfire: Inside the downfall of the NRA” . Tim’s been on the ground in Ukraine since the war’s start (coming up on three years now!) He and his growing team of correspondents document the Ukrainians’ struggle with verv...

Indian-Americans have been steadily rising in politics and elected office for decades now, but 2024 may be viewed as the election they arrived as a national force — from former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and former pharmaceutical executive Vivek Ramaswamy duking it out for the Republican nomination to Vice President Kamala Harris en route to becoming the first Indian-American to secure a major pa...

President Joe Biden’s exit and Vice President Kamala Harris’s securing of the Democratic nomination have fundamentally reshaped the race for the White House. So who better to tell us what this all means than longtime operative Reed Galen Galen. He co-founded The Lincoln Project, has been in the trenches for years and is now the president of pro-democracy group Join the Union . Show notes: * Wild f...

For our latest episode of the 24sight Pod, we invited on Kadia Goba , a breakout star reporter covering the race for the White House and Congress for Semafor. Kadia wrote a great deep-dive last month into former president Donald Trump’s distinct appeal to young Blacks and the cult of personality around him and Black sports icons. (This episode was recorded Monday, July 8, 2024. Some dynamics have...
