372: Texas & Beyond with Mayor Chaz Molder

James and Al report on the Texas primary results and the opportunity to take advantage of a Blue shift following the controversial win of Ken Paxton, pressure Democrats to avoid the strategic mistakes of 2024, and game out how to win in other Red states in the wake of the gerrymandering war.  Then they welcome Columbia, Tennessee’s Mayor, Chaz Molder, to discuss his congressional campaign against ultra MAGA Andy Ogles, the corruption of his opponent, how to appeal to independents and the other side of the aisle, and the evolution of Tennessee politics.Email your questions to James and Al at [email protected] or tweet them to @politicon.  Make sure to include your city– we love to hear where you’re from!
