The Hacks are back this week to talk through the latest:

The famed Liberty and Justice Dinner (formerly known as the Jefferson-Jackson) wrapped last Friday in Iowa: Who stood out, what does it mean, and how much will it shake up the race?

Poll-a-palooza: Why do Axe and Murphy dub the slew of new polls in early swing states a “wake-up call” for Dems?

State of the Senate: a growing number of Republican senators consider acknowledging Trump's misdeeds with Ukraine—but does it matter?

…And we raise our glasses to Beto O’Rourke for a hard-fought bid for the nomination.

The Hacks close with listeners’ mailbag questions on why internal polls matter and the potential impact of a third-party candidate on the race.
