The DFL Debrief: A Minnesota Politics Podcast

Welcome to the third part of our breakdown of the wild last month of the presidential race. This week, we're celebrating Tim Walz, of course! We discuss Governor Tim Walz being tabbed as Kamala Harris' running-mate from the perspective of people who have had an up close look at Tim Walz the governor, and Tim Walz the person. 

Thanks for tuning in!

Welcome to Part 2 of our series on the huge shakeup in the Presidential race that has occurred over the past month. This week, we discuss the fallout of the Harris move from the prospective of Donald Trump and his regrettable running mate, JD Vance.

Hi Debriefers, our sincerest apologies for being behind on publishing episodes, as you can imagine we've been slightly busy as of late. But, we have a 3-part series for you today that we're calling Everything Is Different Now.

In Part 1 we reacted to the announcement that Vice President Kamala Harris would be replacing President Biden at the top of the Democratic Party's presidential ticket. 
 Stay tuned for Part's 2 & 3 coming today! 

Your commute this week will thank you. 

This week, we discuss a GOP candidate for Hennepin County Commissioner going to jail for throwing spiders, among other things, as well as Clarence Thomas and his galaxy brain. 

This week, the gang, minus Darwin, discuss the state of the campaign five months from Election Day, a reporter's look at the sorry state of the MN GOP, and tails from the campaign trail. 

This week, the show discusses the ongoing saga of Tom Emmer's shameful kowtowing to Donald Trump and how he's even been given a sad nickname by his GOP colleagues. Also, the CD 2 GOP prepares for a messy primary season as Angie Craig continues to get things done for her constituents. 

This week, we kick off the show with a Montana Senate candidate, Tim Sheehy. While Sheehy claims to have grown up in a rural Minnesota town, turns out that rural area is Shoreview, MN, which is minutes from Minneapolis and St. Paul. 

Also, what do you get when you combine Tax Day, Darwin's birthday, and the DFL's 80th birthday? A very average podcast episode! 

By every metric, Minnesota's investment in our future has fueled our economy to far greater heights than Wisconsin, who...went a different,, Scott Walker-ian route. 

Have you heard of Democrats Abroad? Then this is the episode for you. This week, Ken joined Dems Abroad on their podcast, Democrats Abroad: The Blue Vote Café, to discuss their importance in getting Democrats elected.
