From Nancy Mace’s bold stance on biological sex in women’s spaces to Speaker Mike Johnson’s delicate tightrope walk on the issue, the ladies unpack the cultural and political implications of this growing debate.

They break down the trending "4B Movement" and blue bracelet craze, laughing (and cringing) over some of the wild reactions online, while also getting real about the impact of fear-based media and misinformation on mental health.

The two then turn to Trump’s "Cabinet Draft Picks," revealing who's who in the anticipated administration lineup—from Pete Hegseth to Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.

Packed with sarcasm, a dash of sympathy, and plenty of truth-telling, this episode is a rollercoaster through post-election hysteria and the shifting political landscape.

In this episode of Campaign Games, we’re tackling the election fallout, breaking down the failures of the Harris campaign, and calling out the media’s epic meltdown. We dig into the media's go-to excuses for the Democrats' loss—like cries of racism and misogyny—and call out the absurdity of their double standards and disingenuousness. From Harris’s limp concession speech to the “blame the right-wing ecosystem” narrative that’s now running wild on CNN, we’ve got all the unfiltered analysis.

We’re also exploring the big shift to the right across the U.S., what it means for the future, and reactions from Democrat figureheads like Gavin Newsom and Kathy Hochul, who are already bracing themselves for a Trump presidency.This episode has everything you love about Campaign Games: humor, brutal honesty, and zero patience for the spin. Grab a coffee (or something stronger) and join us—there’s a lot to unpack!
