Our 2024 Presidential Election Model is live! The Postrider's Politics Editor and Editor-in-Chief unpack the basics, talk about their philosophy, why they've beat the heavy-hitting models the last three cycles, and have some fun explaining how you can use the map too.
The Republican primary comes to an end not with a bang, but with a whimper, as all major candidates but former President Donald Trump have dropped out and he has accumulated the delegates necessary to receive the nomination. After it all, Lars, Michael, and Chris hop on one last time to crown the winner and talk about the entire experience. Check out the live updating draft with a history of our trades, points accumulated, and more!
The Postrider's Politics Editor Lars Emerson and Editor-in-Chief Michael Lovito present their own visions for how to redesign U.S. currency. Who would we put on coins? What denominations would we add or subtract? And how can America use its money to present the best possible version of itself?
Should Donald Trump be considered the Republican Party's presumptive nominee already, after just two primary contests? How can he power through to the general election? Who might his running mate be? And how did we get to this unusual point in history where one man is set to be a party's nominee for three elections in a row?
Lars and Michael recap 2023, giving superlatives to the best, worst, weirdest, and most embarassing people and moments in politics of 2023.
It's been a whirlwind of debates, mugshots, dropouts, and notable moments; with the Iowa caucuses in spitting distance, Lars, Michael, and Chris hop back in to check on their primary draft and talk about where the race is going! Check out the live updating draft with a history of our trades, points accumulated, and more!
Our 2024 Republican Vice Presidential Power Index is live, so Lars and Michael flip spots on the Politics Express podcast as Mike interviews Lars on the intricacies, strengths, shortfalls, and updates to the model from its 2020 Democrat-focused iteration. In the back half of the episode, the boys discuss the vice presidential sweepstakes more subjectively as they gear up for the 2024 election.
The first Republican primary debate is a month away so Lars, Michael, and Chris hop back in to check on their primary draft and talk about where the race is going! Check out the live updating draft with a history of our trades, points accumulated, and more!

Lars is joined by Chris Choban to discuss the debt ceiling -- what it is, why it exists, why it's dangerous, and how can America get out of the pattern of debt ceiling impasses (yes, the trillion dollar coin comes up).
