Politics Ratioed: Trump Picks the Most Retweetable Cabinet

from Middleweight Politics: Political Analysis for the Independent Voter · host Dan Sally & Shawn Griffiths

In his first term, Trump was accused of listening to Fox News more than his advisors. This time around, he appears ready to avoid that criticism by appointing a Fox News panel to his cabinet. In this episode, we explore how Trump's picks - from Elon Musk to RFK Jr. - reflect a political system where Twitter followers matter more than expertise, how California Republican David Valadao keeps winning in a Democratic +10 district without becoming "Fox News famous," and what his success tells us about fixing our social media-obsessed politics.
