Dave Weigel: Polls Wrong, Hong Gone
from The Bulwark Podcast · host The Bulwark
Democratic primary voters in Wisconsin didn’t care much for how hard Republicans were working to try to make democratic socialist Francesca Hong the Dems' nominee for governor. That whole strategy helped draw last night’s primary winner, David Crowley, back into the race three weeks ago. Maybe there is not a secret socialist vote in rural America, after all. Plus: the fallout from ICE on key Minnesota races, the Dems are still going to war against their gerontocracy, Nate Silver has some very encouraging polls, and Fetterman could use a Democratic friend. And Tim asks The Bulwark community to help a family of legal immigrants who are currently being held in one of the country’s new internment camps. Dave Weigel joins Tim Miller.show notes: Dave's "Americana" newsletter Letter from legal permanent resident, Maryam Tahmasebi, in The Nation Tim's recent interview with Jonathan Blitzer on our new internment camps Mailbag email Exclusive $35-off Carver Mat, Aspen, and Walden frames at https://on.auraframes.com/BULWARK.
