Florida Dems Shocked as DSA Radical Wins Senate Primary

Florida Dems Shocked as DSA Radical Wins Senate Primary

Author: Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary August 19, 2026 Duration: 31:24
Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to a socialist state lawmaker shocking the Democrats by winning the Florida U.S. Senate primary, South Carolina Sen. Darline Graham admitting she is not well-versed at all on national security, a company admitted it completely fabricated recent polling results, and two Dan Sullivans appearing likely to make the November ballot for U.S. Senate in Alaska.

First, they discuss the stunning victory of socialist Angie Nixon in the Florida Democratic U.S. Senate primary over the heavily-favored establishment pick, Alexander Vindman. Jim and Greg also discuss how this result may impact the governor's race, and they round up a number of encouraging results in GOP congressional primaries.

Next, they head to the South Carolina GOP U.S. Senate debate as Sen. Darline Graham whiffs on a question about Taiwan and admits, "National security is not my thing." Jim explains why this answer ought to be considered disqualifying, especially considering the challenges we face from China.

Then, they dig into "Median Strategies" announcing it is done polling, fabricated all of their results, and the whole operation was a social experiment to see how much fake polling could get reported without anyone bothering to verify the results were legitimate.

Finally, they groan over Alaska's ridiculous system, where four candidates advance from Tuesday's primary to the general election. This year the four U.S. Senate candidates will include two named Dan Sullivan, one of whom is accused of running just to sow confusion for the current Sen. Sullivan. The eventual winner will be decided through the execrable ranked choice voting system.

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.
