The GOP’s Unpopular and Harmful Bill (ft. Galen Druke)
With JD Vance casting a tiebreaking vote, the Senate voted Tuesday to advance the GOP budget bill. To process this news, Jessica is joined by Galen Druke — the former host of the FiveThirtyEight Politics Podcast, and current host of GD Politics. They discuss the bill that no one seems to like, what lessons the Democrats should (and shouldn’t) learn from Zohran Mamdani’s win in the NYC mayoral primary, and last week’s surprising Supreme Court opinions.
