Elections Everywhere All At Once

Elections Everywhere All At Once

Author: ABC News, 538, FiveThirtyEight, Galen Druke May 24, 2024 Duration: 35:38
It’s been a newsy week for elections here at home and across the pond. On Wednesday, in her first public appearance since dropping out of the Republican primary, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley said that she is going to vote for former President Donald Trump this fall. In this installment of the 538 Politics podcast, we ask whether her endorsement actually matters to voters. We also indulge in some British politics, with the announcement that the U.K. will hold general elections on July 4. The electoral picture for the Conservative Party is currently abysmal and they have six weeks to try to change it. And we check in on lessons from the downballot primaries that played out in Georgia and Oregon. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Tune in to FiveThirtyEight Politics for a conversation that goes beyond the headlines and into the numbers that shape them. Hosted by Galen Druke and the team of analysts and journalists from FiveThirtyEight and ABC News, this podcast digs into the data behind elections, policy debates, and the shifting currents of public opinion. Each episode feels like sitting in on a smart, sometimes contentious, but always evidence-based discussion among people who are deeply curious about how power and persuasion actually work. You’ll hear them parse new polls, dissect electoral strategies, and question what truly constitutes a political "game-changer," all with a focus on the historical trends and statistical context that others often miss. It’s a necessary listen for anyone who wants to understand not just what’s happening in American politics, but the measurable forces that explain why. This isn’t about partisan punditry; it’s a clear-eyed, data-driven exploration of the modern political landscape, making it one of the most distinctive voices in the news and politics podcast space.
