The Politics of the Super Bowl

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss President Trump’s appearance at the Super Bowl, Taylor Swift, and the changing political messaging by the NFL. They also talk about the not-so-subtle politics of some of Sunday night’s Super Bowl television ads, including those from the NFL, Nike, Lays, Jeep and other advertisers. Plus, the legal challenges to DOGE’s recent activities, and whether the Democrats’ opposition to DOGE is sound politics. And finally, Tom Bevan talks with RCP senior elections analyst Sean Trende about current public opinion, including a CBS/Yougov poll released this weekend that showed Trump with a 53 percent approval rating.
