Ravi welcomes Bradley Tusk back to the pod to discuss the latest developments in Springfield, Ohio, whether Trump's immigration messaging will help or hurt his campaign, and the Harris camp's decision to deploy a "Rose Garden" strategy.
Next, they dive into Bradley's new book, Vote With Your Phone, and explore why mobile voting may be the solution to low voter turnout and how voter apathy impacts the political landscape. Finally, Ravi and Bradley turn to New York City politics, examining how Mayor Eric Adams' ongoing legal troubles could shake up the 2025 mayoral race—and why Andrew Cuomo is keeping a close eye on the fallout.

They explore the real-world consequences of ongoing campus protests and focus on the often-overlooked experiences of Columbia’s workers, from security guards to custodians, who continue to navigate the growing tension between the school’s administration and protesting students.

Ravi welcomes Tyler Austin Harper, contributing writer at The Atlantic and assistant professor at Bates College, to the podcast to discuss the 2024 presidential race. They cover everything from the continuing series of identity-based fundraisers like White Dudes for Harris and the need for the Harris-Walz campaign to define their policy positions to whether there’s truth in JD Vance’s claims that Democrats are anti-family. They also discuss the need for the Trump-Vance campaign to stay on message and why Trump could not do so during his conversation with Elon Musk on X Spaces. Finally, it’s been just over three weeks since Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race. Ravi and Tyler reflect on his decision, how the Biden team addressed concerns about his health and mental fitness, and why the public deserves an investigation into any cover-up of his alleged decline.

Ravi welcomes New York Times Op-Ed columnist Pamela Paul to the show to discuss her skepticism about Vice President Kamala Harris as a candidate and the way in which Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee. Ravi and Pamela explore what Harris needs to do to start making her case to voters, from the importance of a new vision for K-12 education to how voters crave authenticity in today's politics. They also discuss Pamela’s recent piece, 'The Republican Party’s Elite Conundrum,' which examines how Ivy League graduates lead the Republican Party but downplay any whiff of intellectualism.
