New Polling Shows the Re-Alignment is Real - Direct Edition 01/31/2025

News comes fast in Washington these days, and Edward Endymion is here to break it all down. First, we examine the ghoulish instinct on both right and left to politicize tragedy while families remain freshly in mourning in the aftermath of the disasterous collision over Reagan National Airport before checking in on new headwinds faced by RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard in their battles to make it out of committee and win a floor vote to be confirmed into Trump's cabinet, while Kash Patel looks to sail through. With the news of the day dispensed of, we're free to take a thousand foot view of the political landscape with a new Quinnipiac Poll released this week, showing Trump's more popular than he's ever been, but more consequentially the Democrats are less popular than they've ever been. They're a party desperately in need of a rebrand - but who has the courage, will, and power to cast the socialists out and drag them back to the center? Finally, we hop across the pond and check in on the state of play for Germany's upcoming election. Should American's be concerned or excited about the rise of the right wing AfD party? We'll give you the angle.
