Democrats have ignited the "Trump will be a dictator" tactic to coincide with the "end of democracy" tactic employed in the 2022 midterms.  It worked then, will it work again in 2024?  North Carolina has expanded Medicaid to roughly 600,000 residents through bipartisan agreement.  And Florida State gets left out of the playoffs based on bad lobbying efforts by Ron DeSantis - at least according to Trump.

We've had another candidate drop out of the Republican Presidential race.  How does that impact the race going forward?  The Lieutenant Governor in North Carolina is visiting Israel.  Will that sway Jewish voters?  And the mob is out to cancel Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh.  Is that a good thing (for non-Buckeye fans) or is it a microcosm of a bigger issue in our society?

Missed the 3rd GOP Presidential Debate?  I've got you covered.  In the most substantive of the three debates so far, I'll go over all of the topics addressed by the remaining five candidates, DeSantis, Haley, Scott, Ramaswamy and Christie.   I'll also give my view on each topic and how still none of these five have sufficiently gone after the man who remains conspicuously absent, former President Trump.  Can the GOP bounce back from what was yet another disappointing election night, prompting Vivek to call the GOP the "party of losers"?

Election Day 2023 is here.  I discuss a new poll out from the New York Times a year away from the 2024 election that shows a rather significant lead for Trump in 5 of 6 swing states.  But is there more behind the numbers?  There are notable influences with the economy and a certain independent candidate.  For North Carolinians, voter ID is required at the polls in a dry run for next year's cycle.  Here is a quick refresher and for a more in-depth discussion, feel free to listen to the Voter ID episode from April of this year.  Go Vote!
