Plus, Hot Dish Summer
I’d just like to plug the latest episode of the
, my side project with . For this episode, we are joined by , co-author of a forthcoming book on the vice presidency, to discuss the vice presidential nominations of Tim Walz and J.D. Vance. What kind of strategies were being used here in picking running mates? What voters are they trying to activate or reassure, and how? What do these picks tell us about the presidential nominees and their parties? To what extent are these candidates relying on populist appeals?Given Walz’s, Julia’s, and John’s experiences in the upper Midwest, we discuss what exactly hot dish is and how it’s properly made, while I make disparaging coastal elite faces off camera.
