'College-Educated' White Women Remain One of the Democrats' Most Reliable Blocs

'College-Educated' White Women Remain One of the Democrats' Most Reliable Blocs

Author: Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary August 14, 2026 Duration: 27:24
Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they cover Mike Rogers leading the Michigan Senate race but "college-educated" white women overwhelmingly backing Abdul El-Sayed, Minnesota Lt. Gov. and Dem Senate nominee Peggy Flanagan blaming only Gov. Tim Walz for the massive fraud in her state, New Jersey Dems spending a ridiculous amount of taxpayer dollars on a portrait, and the WNBA still failing to define a woman.

First, they welcome the only encouraging poll of a key Senate race released by Fox News yesterday. Mike Rogers leads Abdul El-Sayed by four points in Michigan. White men are overwhelmingly behind Rogers, as are women who did not go to college. But "college-educated" women back El-Sayed 60-37 percent. We dig into the numbers and why that group is so much different than the others.

Next, they shake their heads as Minnesota Lt. Gov. and Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Peggy Flanagan says she bears no responsibility for the fraud scandal in her state because "the buck stops" with Gov. Tim Walz. She also wishes somebody would have done something about it sooner. Jim and Greg suspect voters will not be satisfied with that answer.

Then, they dig into New Jersey spending $135,000 in taxpayer dollars on a portrait of former Gov. Phil Murphy. That's $50,000 more than the price tag for Gov. Chris Christie's portrait eight years ago. Jim and Greg have a simple and very cost-effective solution.

Finally, they laugh as WNBA officials meet for hours to discuss who should be eligible to play in the league and they couldn't come to any conclusions.

Each day can feel like a barrage of headlines, a chaotic mix of the serious and the absurd. That’s where 3 Martini Lunch-Political Humor & Commentary comes in. Hosts Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos have built a following by sorting through the noise with a specific, effective ritual. They serve up the day’s events in three distinct parts they call "martinis": one for the genuinely good news, another for the frustratingly bad, and a final one reserved for the utterly crazy stories that defy belief. What you’ll hear in this podcast is a conversation that feels like sitting with two well-informed friends who aren’t afraid to be sharp, witty, or blunt. They analyze politics and culture with a perspective that cuts through partisan talking points, aiming for clarity and, often, a much-needed laugh. The pace is brisk and designed for a commute or a lunch break, but the commentary is substantial. Tuning into this podcast means getting a digest of what matters, framed with humor and insight that makes the whirlwind of news actually digestible. It’s a daily check-in that manages to be both smart and consistently entertaining, providing a structured way to understand the world without losing your sanity in the process.
