The United States has never been so divided, well, except for that one time. Politics have divided a lot of Americans over the last few years, but what happens when it divides long-time friends or even family members? Cory and Cody discuss how the current state of political division has ruined many personal and romantic relationships. Can a left leaning person truly be friends with someone who is MAGA? Can a Democrat and Republican remain married during these times? And how many people have cut off family members over politics? We explore all of these topics.

Despite scoring a string of major victories across the country in recent elections, the Democratic Party looks more divided than ever before. Less than a week after those victories, eight Democratic senators defected from their party to side with Republicans on re-opening the government. This has set off a new civil war within the party, and it has everyone asking the same question: why is the Democratic Party so broken? Cory and Cody attempt to answer this question on this week's episode. They discuss what they think is wrong with the party and how, or even if, it can be fixed.

And why did Tuskegee University, a prestigious HBCU, give an honorary degree to Katie Britt, a republican senator out of Alabama who's aligned with the MAGA movement?

On this week's episode of Living in the Red, Cory and Cody dive deep into former Vice President Kamala Harris's new book 107 Days. Full disclosure: They haven't fully read the book, but they've listen to enough interviews and reviews of it so you don't have to. Seriously, Kamala drops a light bomb on her party by detailing who supported her and who left her in the wind during her brief yet historic whirlwind of a presidential campaign. The book has many in the Democratic Party questioning her loyalty, while Cory and Cody question every step the Democrats took leading up to the high stakes election of 2024.
