Democrats & Dodgers Doubleheader with Jonathan Lemire

from Impolitic with John Heilemann · host Audacy | Puck

John welcomes Morning Joe co-host and Atlantic staff writer Jonathan Lemire to discuss the resounding triumphs this week of two very different Blue Teams: the Democratic Party and the LA Dodgers. Lemire assesses the key factors driving the Democratic drubbing of Donald Trump’s Republican Party in Tuesday's off-year elections; what comes next for the day’s big winners, from Zohran Mamdani in New York City to Gavin Newsom in California; and the reaction to the rout by Trump and the GOP. Then, once John finishes pimping the Dodgers second straight World Series win, Lemire lays out the argument in his recent Atlantic piece, “Don’t Blow This, Baseball,” as to why the grand old game is suddenly resurgent—and how a looming labor-management tussle could well lead to a calamitous work stoppage in 2027.
