Super Majorities, with Adam Jentleson
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.centralairpodcast.com
This week: Adam Jentleson’s book Supermajority, released in September, calls for Democrats to stop eking out Senate majorities and instead broaden their appeal to win 55-60 Senate seats and a comfortable House majority. Last week’s election puts the party most of the way there. We talk with Adam about why that happened and what Democrats need to do to maintain it. Plus: Adam makes a case for Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to keep their leadership positions, and we talk about what the Democratic party can do if it wins full control in 2029 and actually has to make policy choices.
That later part of the conversation is for paying subscribers, as is this week’s cocktail hour, in which we discuss the Jensen Huang honeypot scandal. Finally: do you want advice from us? Email your problems, big and small, to josh@joshbarro.com and we may take them on in a future episode.
